Legislation published in mid‑July designates the biometric CURP as the mandatory national ID and requires public and private entities to accept it, with fines of 10,000–20,000 UMA for noncompliance. A 90‑day timeline sets October 14, 2025 for launching the Plataforma Única de Identidad and for systems adaptation, followed by a November 13 deadline to integrate the biometrics of children and adolescents. Pilot enrollment is underway in multiple states, including Ciudad de México, Estado de México, Veracruz, Jalisco and Tabasco, with a free 20–30 minute process requiring a recent birth certificate, certified CURP, valid photo ID and a recent proof of address. Local guidance now details sites and hours such as four modules in Estado de México (Toluca, Villa Guerrero, Texcoco, Tlalnepantla) and a Tabasco module at the state civil registry in Villahermosa. SEGOB and RENAPO say schools will accept the traditional CURP for the 2025–2026 start, while PAN is organizing collective amparos and some judges have granted provisional suspensions; media report broader mandatory use could phase in by early 2026.
