Overview
- The nationwide process opens Jan. 9 with a roughly 120‑day window through the end of June, after which unlinked numbers will be partially suspended and limited to emergency calls and operator support until registered.
- All prepaid and postpaid lines must be tied to a valid ID and CURP, and new SIMs will be sold disabled until the user completes registration.
- Users can link remotely by uploading an official ID and completing a selfie “liveness” check with up to three attempts, or finish the process in person at carrier service centers at no cost.
- Regulators say operators will not retain document images or biometric data, keeping only validation results and basic fields, and carriers must deploy management and user consultation platforms, with Telcel’s query portal slated for Feb. 7.
- Rules include a 10‑line cap for natural persons, re‑identification when porting to a new carrier, and temporary allowances in emergency zones for unlinked lines.
