Mexico’s SEP Launches Free Digital Certificate to Verify Professional Credentials

Issued on the national registry portal, the constancia provides QR validation alongside a 15‑day validity window.

Overview

  • The Secretaría de Educación Pública introduced the Constancia de Situación Profesional as an immediate, no‑cost download on the Registro Nacional de Profesiones.
  • The certificate consolidates identification data, registered studies, professional‑college affiliation, certifications or microcredentials, transversal competencies, and any sanctions.
  • Users obtain it online by searching with a full name and CURP or with a professional license number, then selecting the correct profile to download.
  • Each document carries a QR code that enables direct status verification on the official platform and remains valid for 15 days from issuance.
  • Employers can use the constancia to validate candidates’ records, addressing a reported 16% academic discrepancy rate in Mexico, though it is not required to be hired.
