NSS Retrieval: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Find out how formal employees in Mexico can retrieve their permanent Social Security number online.
This service allows you to find your permanent Social Security number if you need to confirm it for your employment or benefits.
Who it's for
This service is specifically for formal employees. If you are working in a formal employment capacity, you can use this tool to identify your official number.
What you get
By using this service, you get your permanent Social Security number. This is also referred to as your Número de seguro. Having this number is essential for managing your social security status, your health benefits, and your retirement details within the system.
What it costs you
There is no monetary cost to use this service; it is entirely free. However, you will need to spend a small amount of time gathering your documents. To complete the process, you must have your CURP (Clave Única de Registro de Población) ready and a valid email address where you can receive your information.
The catch to know
The most common mistake people make is confusing this number with their RFC. It is very important to remember that your Social Security number and your RFC are two different numbers used for different purposes. Ensure you are looking for your Social Security number and not your tax identification number to avoid errors in your records.

- Locate the section for assigning or retrieving your number.
- Enter your CURP exactly as it appears on your official documents.
- Provide your active email address to receive your results.
