Thanks for your help/experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookj5 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 I have never heard of a "plastic Curp Card". The official paper document containing your CURP number can be downloaded from the internet very simply. All it requires is for you to enter your CURP number and then download the document. However, my plastic Permanente immigration card and plastic Jalisco driver's license both contain my CURP number. That being said, anyone who requires you to produce your CURP will be talking about the paper document. Here is a good source of information about the CURP: https://immigrationtomexico.mx/what-is-a-curp-number-and-how-to-get-one-in-mexico/ This site contains a link to where you can download the CURP document. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 There is no CURP card. When you need an "original" just print it out on a color printer. It is no cost. https://www.gob.mx/curp/ Save it as a PDF on your computer & print when you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Some papelerias can print the one page CURP document for you since you don't have a printer. You need a copy of this document for just about everything you do in MX so I suggest you make several copies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiko Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I had mine laminated at a papeleria. Something like 12 years ago. Likes like new today. And keep a copy in my phone in the archives folder just in case I lose it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was many years ago a document that looked like it could be folded to make it into a card, but no cards have been issued. You must have an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper saved. And, the CURP document has changed at least 3 times in the last 12 years. Your original document, whatever it is, would not be valid anymore as they want the current version of this document presented upon request.

gwynne Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 The curp card was plastic laminate when we came here 18 years ago. Soon after, things changed (without notification, of course) and that card was no good. I've kept the old card to clean paint off glass with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help/experience. What you describe sounds like a visa application. You need to talk to your Lakeside facilitator. There is no charge for CURP and as others have stated you can go to the website and print it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
