Overview

• RENAPO says the first CURP Biométrica files will begin arriving by email in mid‑October to people who registered in the pilot, with delivery proceeding in the order of enrollment.
• Officials stress the upgrade is optional and free, and the traditional CURP remains valid for services and formalities.
• No physical card will be issued by the state; only the holder can download the document via Segob or RENAPO portals to print and laminate.
• The credential will carry two QR codes, one showing standard CURP details and a second with biometric records that only authorized agencies can read.
• More than 140 pilot modules are operating in states including CDMX, Estado de México, Veracruz and Sinaloa, with wider availability planned from October as the centralized Plataforma Única de Identidad is finalized.
