(Video) What is an RFC and why do I NEED one? [] INMTEC Legal Services

Recorded June 19, 2022

Lately, there has been a lot of talk about Mexican RFCs in the expat community. This due to significant legislative changes in Mexico making RFCs mandatory for everyone — meaning citizens and lawful residents. RFC is an alphanumeric tax identifier in Mexico that is similar to a Social Security number in the States.

The legislation also created additional requirements for businesses to collect this information from their clients in order to issue facturas (official tax receipts). The bills that come from utility companies and Internet service providers are all facturas, so even expats who don’t file income taxes in Mexico are being asked for their RFCs. Hence all the chatter online about this topic.

When these companies ask for the information, they normally ask the customer for a copy of either their Cédula de Identificación Fiscal or Constancia de Situación Fiscal. Many of them are only asking for the latter, Constancia de Situación Fiscal, because it contains both the Cédula de Identificación Fiscal as well as the additional information about the person and their current status in the tax computer system.
