On September 24, 2026, the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit published a Resolution modifying the official format for registration of entities conducting vulnerable activities under Mexico's anti-money laundering framework. The modification updates the registration requirements originally established on August 30, 2013, and previously amended on July 24, 2014, and August 17, 2016. The Resolution expands the registration format to explicitly identify and accommodate new categories of vulnerable activity operators introduced through recent legislative reforms. These include public and private facilitators under Mexico's General Law on Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms, customs brokers and individuals or entities promoting customs clearance without broker intervention, and entities operating through trusts or other legal structures. The updated format requires comprehensive identification data for all participants, including trustees, trust beneficiaries, settlors, and delegates, along with detailed contact and address information for each vulnerable activity conducted. The Resolution introduces a new electronic format (Annex B) for designating and confirming compliance officers, requiring such individuals to provide contact information and residential addresses. Entities must use an Excel template tool to generate XML files when submitting information about trust members or participants in other legal structures. The registration process remains conducted through an online portal maintained by the UIF. The Resolution enters into force on February 1, 2027, with a staggered implementation schedule. Public and private facilitators must comply by June 1, 2027. Entities that registered before February 1, 2027, under previous formats must deregister and immediately re-register using the updated format to clearly identify their operational capacity.
