In Mexico, the CURP is a unique 18-character alphanumeric identity code used to officially identify residents in the country, whether they are Mexicans or foreigners.
The ITAM Criminal Litigation Clinic reported that Renapo issued the first CURP under the recognition of non-binary identity (NB) in Mexico.
This achievement was made possible by “modifications to his system and search log.”
The issuance of the first non-binary CURP by Renapo comes 5 months after the issuance of the birth certificate of Fausto Martínez, the first to be recognized as a non-binary person. On February 16, 2022, the young NB shared in Twitter a photo of your birth certificate.
In it, the General Directorate of the Civil Registry of the State of Guanajuato put the initials ‘NB’ (No Binary) in the ‘sex’ box. However, this time it is the first non-binary CURP that has been registered in the country.
