 Posted: Sun Jul 21, 2013 10:22 pm Post subject: CURP |
 |
|
I'm starting a new job in August and the school has asked me to get an RFC and CURP number.
After looking online I've made an appoinment to get my RFC number but can't find any information on where to get the CURP no, does anybody know how or where I should apply for it?
Also for the RFC the website says I need my birth cert. which I don't have with me. My mam sent it by post but that was about 3/4 weeks ago now and I'm afraid it might be lost. Can I get the RFC without a birth cert.?? |

You shouldn´t need your birth certificate if you have a work visa and your passport. Also, unless things have changed a lot, when you do get your work visa, you have to register, or be registered, in some kind of list of foreigners and they automatically give you your CURP. If you don´t have legal work papers you won´t be able to get either one. If you are all registed and everything, look back at the papers you got at Migration, maybe it was in there and you didn´t realize what it was. Your CURP should also be on your immigration document. You can print out a copy of it and them just have it laminated:

Thanks for the replies!
I checked my work visa and the CURP section is just blank also checked the link you provided BBB and they can't find me.
I'll try the office that Guy suggested and hopefully I won't need the birth cert for the RFC!! |

From what I've seen, getting your CURP is not automatically given via getting work papers. These are two different agencies...in fact, my own immigration card doesn't have my CURP on it (though I will add it next month at my renewal). |

| I must have just had super efficient workers when I took people to Migracion, haha, as they were all given a printed/photocopied CURP when they got their work papers. Maybe that has changed, since it has been a number of years now, but maybe you know, Guy. I believe it used to be a requirement to register in the ¨Libro de Extranjeros¨ or something like that, and there was a fee to be paid to do so, in order to get a work visa. Do you know if that is still the case (sounds like maybe it isn´t). I wonder when that was discontinued, seems like it would have been easier in the long run. |

I got my FM3 (with permission to work) in the spring of 2008 and didn't get my CURP till almost a year later. |

I don't remember that at all. I had a lawyer handle my initial papers well over a decade ago, and in recent years I've done everything myself. but a libro de extranjeros I don't remember. |

Yes, you will. Other things needed include a "constancia de domicilio", official ID, 4 photographs, CURP, and a document issued by IMSS that contains your Mexican Social Security Number. This is information I got from my local IMSS "subdelegación". |

You didn´t have to register for that Foreigner´s list? I can´t think what it is called. Well, I guess that just goes t show, ever experience can be different, and I doubt that is going to change! I have also heard of people being asked for a birth certificate, yet I never had anyone be asked. And another person was asked to have his TESOL translated into Spanish even though it was issued in Mexico. We got out of line and back in line, got a different person and it was accepted without a translation. |

I can´t remember the exact name anymore, but it was something like Registro de Extranjeros, and I remember it being a requirement to register at Migration at one time, upon getting your first work visa. Now that you mention it, I don´t remember if it still was the last time I took someone to Migration, I was just there to translate and didn´t pay too close attention otherwise. |
