Overview
- Reissuance in 2026 is only required for damaged or illegible cards, loss or theft, changes to personal data, or to replace obsolete INSEN credentials.
- People who turn 60 in 2026 can obtain the credential for free with an in‑person visit to authorized modules, bringing originals and copies of a birth certificate, valid ID, updated CURP, proof of address, a recent child‑size photo, and an emergency contact.
- Modules typically operate Monday to Saturday with some reduced hours on Saturdays or holidays, and most issue the card the same day when paperwork is complete; locations can be found via the official Bienestar site.
- The credential grants broad discounts and services in transport, health, retail, culture and more, including reported airline discounts up to 15% with participating carriers and local property tax reductions that can range from 15% to 50% depending on jurisdiction.
- Holders can also access INAPAM clubs and local centers, including more than 70 spaces in Mexico City’s Cuauhtémoc, which offer activities such as exercise classes, games and workshops.
