Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said enrollment is optional and free, and no institution may require the biometric CURP to deliver services.
  • Pilot registration is underway across the country, with single modules operating in Hermosillo, Sonora, and Chilpancingo, Guerrero, as part of more than 140 sites.
  • The legal update published on July 16 started a 90‑day buildout through October for the Plataforma Única de Identidad led by Segob, the Digital Agency and Renapo.
  • Llave MX is being developed to let people start or complete the process online and, with consent, reuse biometric records from agencies such as INE or SAT.
  • Officials outlined next steps that include government funding and plans to begin emailing downloadable CURP documents to early registrants starting mid‑October.
