Biometric CURP in Mexico City: Where and How to Get Your New ID
The Mexican federal government has officially launched the implementation of the Biometric CURP, a new identification system that will incorporate personal information such as fingerprints, photographs, and digital signatures. This change represents a decisive step in the modernization and digitalization of administrative procedures, aiming to strengthen security and reduce the risk of personal data theft and fraud in the issuance of official documents.
Authorities have indicated that January 2026 will serve as a transition period during which the public can process the Biometric CURP voluntarily and free of charge, before its mandatory enforcement. The key date is February 1, 2026, when this document will become an indispensable requirement for a wide range of procedures with public agencies.
