Overview
- An agreement published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación makes the Biometric CURP an official document for certain IMSS in‑person procedures starting March 18, with a phased introduction.
- IMSS says the identifier will be required for some onsite services, and officials note traditional IDs will still be accepted in the initial stage as systems adapt.
- A federal judge granted a provisional suspension for a petitioner that bars authorities from compelling that person to submit biometrics or conditioning services on obtaining a biometric ID while the amparo proceeds.
- The Vigésimo Cuarto Tribunal Colegiado upheld that suspension, rejecting a federal challenge and keeping the measure in place for the complainant during the constitutional review.
- Operational deployment continues through RENAPO pilot modules with online appointments, consent forms, and a roughly 15‑minute capture of fingerprints, facial photo, iris scan, and digital signature.
