Introduces new law to eliminate bureaucratic procedures
16 Jul 2025
On July 16, 2025, Mexico published the National Law for the Elimination of Bureaucratic Procedures, aimed at modernizing the public sector by digitizing, simplifying, and centralizing administrative procedures across federal, state, and municipal levels. This initiative is designed to eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles, combat corruption, and facilitate faster and more transparent access to government services for individuals and businesses.
The law centralizes procedures in a single national portal, prohibits authorities from requesting information already held by the Government, grants full legal validity to digital documents, establishes a national digital identity (Llave MX) and a citizen digital file, and assigns oversight and enforcement powers to ensure compliance, with limited exceptions for fiscal matters and certain national security procedures. The law also requires that administrative procedures be simplified, consolidated, or standardized before being digitalized, and forbids the digitalization of procedures that have not undergone simplification.
The Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency will develop and operate a single national portal that centralizes public services and procedures to facilitate regulatory compliance for citizens and businesses.
