Overview
- Mexico’s Digital Transformation Agency asked to pause CURP issuance while a consolidated ID proposal awaits a presidential decision.
- The proposed credential would display the 18‑digit CURP, a photo, a QR with biometric data, the public health provider, blood type and organ‑donor status.
- The Health Secretariat is slated as issuer for more than 130 million IDs, with an estimated cost of 10–15 pesos per card and a minimum outlay of about 1.3 billion pesos.
- RENAPO reports biometric records for 25,207,058 people as of December 30, 2025, and says in‑person, free enrollment is open at authorized modules during a voluntary transition phase.
- States are expanding access points, with modules listed in CDMX, Querétaro, Durango, Zacatecas and Baja California Sur, and Yucatán set to add seven sites in Mérida from February 2, according to the state registry.
