Overview
- RENAPO and the Interior Ministry have activated in‑person registration sites across the country, including eight modules in Mexico City, 16 offices in Baja California, four in the State of Mexico, three in Nuevo León, and additional locations in Michoacán and Nayarit.
- Most modules operate on weekdays with limited hours, some without online appointments, and citizens are urged to use the official directories to find the nearest site.
- Applicants must appear in person with an official ID, a certified birth certificate, their current certified CURP, proof of address, and an active email; minors must attend with a parent or guardian.
- Enrollment captures ten fingerprints, a high‑resolution facial photo, an iris scan, and a digital signature to tie a person’s biometrics to their CURP.
- Authorities describe the process as voluntary at launch, and multiple outlets report it may become required for some procedures during 2026, while agencies such as Infonavit say the traditional CURP remains acceptable for now.
