INM Notifications: Address, Marital Status and Employment.

Is this for you?

• You moved house and have not told the INM your new address.
• You married, divorced or had another change of marital status since your last card.
• You changed jobs, employers or occupation.
• You are about to renew or apply for permanent residency and suspect you have pending notices.

General requirements

Resident card and passport

Your current immigration document and your passport, to identify your INM record.

Proof of the new address

Proof of address in your name, such as a utility bill or lease, showing your new address in Mexico.

Civil record of the change in marital status

A marriage, divorce or death certificate, apostilled or legalized if issued outside Mexico and translated by a certified translator if not in Spanish.

Documents for the change of job or occupation

A letter from the new company, a contract or proof of the new job or occupation. If the job requires immigration authorization, we check that before reporting.

Notice form or request

The INM has forms and procedures for each type of notice and often asks that they be filed online or at the office. We verify the current procedure.

Fees, if any

Depending on the type of notice, official fees may or may not apply under the Federal Fees Law in force. We confirm before filing.

The procedure and forms for each notice change often. We confirm the current ones for your office and your type of change.

Step-by-step process

1. 1

   Step 1: Identify what changed and when

   We review which changes have occurred since your last card and when, because the deadline runs from the date of the change.

2. 2

   Step 2: Gather the supporting proof

   We get the documents that prove each change, with apostille and translation when needed.

3. 3

   Step 3: File the notice with the INM

   The notice is filed by the proper channel, online or at the office, and the receipt is kept. If several changes are pending, they are handled together.

4. 4

   Step 4: Updating your record and card

   The INM updates your record. In some cases the change also means updating your card, which is a separate procedure.

5. 5

   Step 5: Keep the receipt and set reminders

   The receipt is your proof of compliance. We keep it with your file for renewals or later procedures.

Estimated timelines

Common mistakes

• Moving and thinking 'I will tell the INM when I renew'. By then the deadline has passed.
• Changing jobs without checking whether the new job requires different authorization.
• Marrying or divorcing and not reporting it, which can create mismatches between your card and your civil records.
• Not keeping the notice receipt, which is proof that you complied.
• Letting several notices pile up and discovering them at renewal, when everything gets complicated.

What our support includes

• A check of which notices are pending and whether a deadline has already passed.
• Preparation of the documents and proof for each notice.
• Filing the notice with the INM and keeping the receipt.
• Catching up on late notices, with a review of risks and the possible fine.
• Direct contact with the lead attorney, in English or Spanish, by video call.
• Defense if the INM imposes a fine or denies something because of pending notices: administrative review, a nullity suit before the TFJA (the federal administrative court) or amparo.

Fees are explained after the consultation, based on your case.
