Mexicans can apply for their Biometric Unique Population Registry Code (CURP) in 2026 by visiting designated modules and presenting official documents.
As of 2026, Mexicans have the opportunity to apply for their Biometric Unique Population Registry Code (CURP) by visiting specific in-person modules. This new version of the CURP is not entirely new but significantly enhances the traditional CURP by incorporating biometric data unique to each Mexican citizen. The integration of biometric features aims to bolster identity security for individuals and streamline processes with various authorities, thereby enhancing public administration efficiency.
To acquire the biometric CURP, applicants must present a set of official documents which include their birth certificate, the traditional CURP, and an official identification. This requirement aligns with the official decree determining the biometric CURP as the new standard for identity in Mexico, serving as a universal access key for numerous transactions with governmental bodies and beyond.
The eligibility for obtaining the biometric CURP extends to all citizens as stipulated by the General Law on Population. This initiative reflects the Mexican government's effort to modernize identity documentation in response to evolving security needs, ensuring that citizens have secure and reliable means of identification in line with contemporary standards.
