Mexican municipalities are implementing mobile and free civil registry programs to improve access to essential identity documents.

In Puerto Morelos, the ‘Registro Civil Itinerante’ program utilizes 12 community brigades to provide free certified copies, birth registrations, marriages, and CURP printing. The administration reported a 36.2 percent increase in registered acts, benefiting over 4,500 people. This initiative includes specialized services such as 24-hour availability for death certificates and biometric CURP assistance.

In Guadalupe, Zacatecas, the municipal government is coordinating with state authorities to conduct campaigns for free birth certificates and other civil status documents. These efforts aim to strengthen the right to identity and provide legal certainty to families by making administrative procedures more accessible to those facing difficulties in obtaining documentation.
