How to Find Your CURP in Mexico
Look up and download your CURP free from the official Gobierno de Mexico website.
Find It
Understand It
A CURP is Mexico's 18-character population identification number. If you have Mexican residency, INM normally assigns it as part of the process.
The official lookup and downloadable Constancia de CURP are free. Do not pay a third-party site.
Do It
- Open the official CURP lookup page.
- Search using your CURP if you know it, or choose the option to search using your personal information.
- Enter your information exactly as registered in your Mexican immigration record.
- Enter all given names in Nombre(s) to match your official documents. Leave Segundo apellido blank if you do not have one.
- If born outside Mexico, select the foreign-born option (Nacido en el Extranjero). Do not select Quintana Roo just because you live in Tulum.
- Once the system finds your record, download your official Constancia de CURP.
Done
Save your Constancia de CURP. Having your CURP makes finding your RFC easier.
Can't find your CURP?
- Check your Mexican residency document for an existing CURP and retry using all given names exactly as registered with INM.
- Confirm you selected the foreign-born option.
- If it still cannot be found, do not try to create a new CURP. Contact INM for assistance.
Is your information wrong?
- If your CURP contains an error, it can be corrected through INM. Bring your immigration document and passport.
- If you appear to have more than one CURP, ask INM to correct or associate the records.
