Mexico Sets June 30 Deadline to Link Mobile Lines to CURP or RFC

The mandate aims to curb phone-based crimes by tying each number to a verified identity.

Overview

  • Mobile numbers that are not registered by June 30, 2026 face suspension, with only emergency calls and operator support allowed during the outage.
  • The rule covers nearly all voice-capable lines, while data-only SIMs, machine-to-machine and IoT chips, certain public-service numbers, and minors’ lines registered by a guardian are exempt.
  • Individuals must present an official photo ID such as an INE or passport along with their CURP, while businesses need a representative’s ID and the company’s RFC.
  • Carriers are notifying customers with links to register, the process can be done online or in person, and some providers limit online attempts before requiring a store visit.
  • Operators must collect, verify, and safeguard user data under Mexico’s private-sector data protection law, matching submissions against RENAPO population records.
