Country brief

How identity verification works in Mexico.

The fraud surface and the frameworks an engineering or compliance lead needs before scoping an integration.
Fraud landscape
Three pressures shape Mexican identity fraud: deepfake and synthetic-CURP attacks on the wave of newly licensed Instituciones de Tecnología Financiera (ITF) and SPEI-enabled wallets, INE Credencial para Votar forgery across the G/H/I generations in circulation, and AML pressure on cross-border remittance corridors with the United States. Didit scores 200+ real-time fraud signals on every session — face morph, replay, injection, document tampering, device intelligence, IP geolocation.
Compliance frameworks
  • Ley FinTech (LRITF)
  • CNBV Disposiciones de Carácter General
  • Ley FPIORPI (vulnerable activities)
  • LFPDPPP (data protection)
  • FATF 40 recommendations
  • SPEI scheme rules
Regulators

03 · AML

Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media.

1,300+ global sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media lists — plus Mexican watchlists:

  • Government of Mexico — Consolidated Sanctions — national consolidated sanctions list aligned with UN Security Council and OFAC designations.
  • Bank of Mexico — Financial Sanctions — Banxico-issued financial-sector sanctions and enforcement notices.
  • Chamber of Senators — Politically Exposed Persons — federal senators (PEP Level 1).
  • MXSAT — Mexican Tax Administration Service — SAT enforcement actions and taxpayer-sanction lists.
  • Comisión Nacional de Seguros y Fianzas — Sanciones — insurance-sector sanctions against unauthorized intermediaries.

  • CNBV (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores) — administrative sanctions and enforcement register — Mexican banking and securities supervisor formal sanctions and enforcement decisions.
  • Hits are scored by severity — a federal Senator surfaces as a PEP Level 2, a Secretary of State as PEP Level 1, sanctions as critical.
  • Turn on ongoing monitoring ($0.07 per user / year) and Didit re-checks every customer daily, firing a webhook the moment a new hit appears.

04 · Registry

Cross-check against RENAPO.

Cross-checked against the authoritative civil registry.

  • The CURP check (mex_curp, $0.20) is the fast first pass — validates the 18-character key against RENAPO with no consent required.
  • The RENAPO National ID check (mex_national_id, $0.24, ~100% coverage) hits the Registro Nacional de Población with name, date of birth, and CURP — the authoritative-source check CNBV expects.
  • The Residential check (mex_residential, $0.29, ~50% coverage) cross-checks address against telco billing records — useful for SPEI account-opening and proof of address.
  • The INE credential validity check (mex_ine_vigencia, $0.10) verifies the INE/IFE voter ID credential against the INE registry — confirming modelo, vigencia, and voting rights.
