Administrative delays in Xalapa document legalisation

Overview

In Xalapa, Veracruz, high school graduates and their families faced significant delays, with queues lasting over four hours to have diplomas and signatures authenticated. The bottleneck occurred at the Alberto Beltrán Auditorium, where the Subdirección de Legalización y Permisos handles required legalisations for university enrollment.

The surge in applicants, some arriving as early as 05:00 h, was attributed to the peak graduation period coinciding with university admission deadlines. The lack of a digital system for these strictly in-person services contributed to the congestion for those seeking certificates from state-run or state-supervised schools.
