Quintana Roo, Mexico — The updated Clave Única de Registro de Población (CURP) has become a mandatory requirement for first-time driver’s license applicants in Quintana Roo, according to a recent announcement by the Instituto de Movilidad de Quintana Roo (IMOVEQROO). The new regulation, published in the Diario Oficial de la Nación (DOF), took effect this week as part of a broader effort to promote the CURP as a primary identification document.

New Requirement Aims to Streamline Identification Processes

The updated CURP is now one of the most commonly requested documents for official procedures, not only because it contains essential personal information but also due to the Mexican government’s long-term plan to implement a biometric CURP system in the coming years.

Requirements for First-Time Driver’s License Applicants in 2025

Prospective drivers in Quintana Roo must present the following documents in original and copy form when applying for their first license:

  • Completed application form
  • Updated CURP
  • Valid INE (voter ID) or passport
  • Proof of address no older than three months
  • Driving certificate issued by an IMOVEQROO-accredited institution
  • Vision test certificate issued by an IMOVEQROO-accredited institution
  • Payment receipt
