Overview

• At the National Security Council session, Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez said the CURP biométrica will serve as an identity system and an operational aid to locate missing persons.
• SEGOB urged states to keep transparent registries, open an investigation file for every disappearance, and connect local systems to the Plataforma Única de Identidad.
• More than 140 pilot modules are active nationwide, including in Chihuahua and Yucatán, with digital delivery of the updated CURP expected to begin in mid‑October.
• The enrollment push will use Secretaría del Bienestar operations and RENAPO’s kits—4,000 initially with plans for up to 8,000—while the process remains free and not required for Mexicans living abroad.
• Captured data will include ten fingerprints, iris scans, a facial photo and an electronic signature; children under five provide only a photo updated annually, and RENAPO reports 29 million records already hold photos plus fingerprints.
