SEP Launches Digital Professional Status Certificate With Verifiable Online Checks

Designed to curb credential fraud, the tool offers a free, standards-based record accessible on the professional license portal.

Overview

  • The Constancia de Situación Profesional consolidates a professional’s license, association membership, microcredentials, certificates, and transversal competencies into one verifiable digital record.
  • The service is free to the public at cedulaprofesional.sep.gob.mx/cedula-profesional/certificaciones, where users can search by name or license number.
  • SEP reports early uptake of over 800,000 certifications registered or downloaded and roughly two million consultations in less than a month.
  • Officials urge patients to verify medical specialists—especially plastic and reconstructive surgeons—by confirming a general medical license, a specialty license, and a current specialty certificate recognized by CONACEM.
  • Built on national and international standards and aligned with the Marco Nacional de Cualificaciones, the initiative replaces paper processes, functions as a digital CV to support employability and mobility, and is projected to expand through partnerships to add about 15 million certifications and microcredentials.
