Mexico Updates Biometric CURP Rollout With Active Modules in CDMX, Estado de México and Baja California

The program is voluntary and recognized as official ID, aiming to curb identity theft through photo, fingerprint and iris capture.

Overview

  • The latest directories list operational capture sites across Mexico City, Estado de México and Baja California with addresses, hours and contacts published by RENAPO.
  • In Mexico City, appointments are required through the RENAPO portal for modules such as the Calle de Londres site, which operates on weekday schedules.
  • Estado de México offers multiple municipal civil registry locations, with procedures varying by office as some take walk-ins and others require booking in advance.
  • Baja California’s active points include offices in Mexicali, Tijuana, Ensenada, Tecate, San Felipe, San Quintín and Playas de Rosarito, each with posted weekday hours.
  • The process is free and ends with a registration receipt containing captured biometrics, and common requirements include a birth certificate, certified traditional CURP and photo ID, with Baja California guidance also requesting proof of address and an active email.
