Overview
- Under a DOF-backed reform to the General Population Law, SEGOB leads the biometric CURP program with the Digital Transformation Agency, and RENAPO handles operational capture and issuance.
- The system requires in‑person capture of a facial photo, ten fingerprints, iris scan, and a digital signature at authorized modules or civil registry offices, with limited sites now operating in multiple states such as a single module in Mérida, Yucatán.
- Article 114 Bis establishes sanctions on authorities and private entities that repeatedly fail to comply, setting fines at 10,000–20,000 UMA, which media calculate at roughly MXN 1.17–2.35 million in 2026 after a prior warning.
- Federal messaging states no one should be denied services for lacking the biometric CURP and that registration is free and gradual, with officials emphasizing citizens are not subject to penalties.
- The law ties the identifier to the National Health System registry and signals broad acceptance across health, banking, housing, education, notarization, and public services, with issuance available in physical and digital forms such as Llave MX and QR verification.
