Legal Update: REPSE is required to obtain or update the Employer Registration Certificate before the National Migration Institute

printable version | July 2021 |

The National Institute of Migration (INM) recognizes the impact of the Labor Reform in terms of the prohibition of subcontracting; therefore, it confirms that it will continue to receive requests for obtaining and updating the “Employer Registration Certificate” (Contancia).

Promoters, whether individuals or corporations, who due to their activities must submit to the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (STPS) the Notice of Registration as Providers of Specialized Services or Execution of Specialized Works ("REPSE") will have the following obligations:

1. When requesting the “Certificate” or “Update” procedure from the INM, it must be noted in the “comments” section that they have the REPSE, and they must show it with the rest of the documentation that is requested for this purpose.
2. Initially and every three years that the REPSE is updated, the Employer Registration Certificate with the INM must also be updated, regardless of the assumptions established by the Migration Law and the Regulations for its annual update.
