Overview
- Officials reported 2,151,802 mobile lines registered in the first eight days of the mandatory process that began on January 9.
- Telecom operators, not a government database, collect and store user records, and investigators may request data only through legal procedures tied to criminal cases.
- Authorities say photos used for liveness checks are deleted after validation and no biometric database is created.
- Companies are preparing a consultation platform so users can verify numbers linked to their CURP, displaying only the last four digits.
- Existing lines must be registered by June 30, 2026 or be limited to emergency calls, while new SIMs remain inactive until registered; identity checks vary by operator because the CRT has not imposed a single protocol.
