RFC Registration (Persona Moral): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to register your Mexican company to obtain the tax ID required for invoicing, banking, and hiring staff.
This scheme allows legally constituted companies in Mexico to register for a tax identification number.
Who it's for
This is for any company that has been legally established under Mexican law.
What you get
Registering provides you with the tax ID required to perform essential business functions, such as issuing invoices, opening business bank accounts, and hiring employees.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee for the registration itself, but you must secure an appointment with the tax authority. You will also need to provide the electronic signature (e.firma) of the company's legal representative.
The catch to know
Your electronic signature (e.firma) is not permanent; it expires every four years. Renewing it through online channels can be quite difficult, so you must stay on top of its expiration.
How to apply
- Gather all necessary legal documentation for your company.
- Schedule an appointment at a tax office.
- Ensure your legal representative has their electronic signature ready.
