Overview

  • The nationwide registration window runs from January 9 to June 30, 2026, with service suspensions starting July 1 for numbers that are not linked to a verified CURP.
  • Operators offer in-person and online flows, but remote attempts are capped at three before users must complete the process with an advisor or at a service center.
  • Remote registration requires an official photo ID and a live-face selfie check; foreigners must use a valid passport or, where applicable, a temporary CURP.
  • Telcel users reported outages and alleged exposure of personal data in the portal’s source code, a claim the company disputes while stating customer information is secure and accessed via unique SMS codes.
  • Successful registrations generate a confirmation folio, and a Telcel query portal is slated for February 7 to let people see lines tied to their CURP or RFC; Unefón routes registration through advisors via 051 rather than a self-serve site.
