The second paragraph of Article 15 of the Federal Labor Law (“LFT”) establishes the obligation for individuals or legal entities to renew their REPSE folio every 3 (three) years.

The aforementioned Agreement clarifies the following:

i) Validity of REPSE folio.- The 3 (three) years of validity of the REPSE folio shall be counted from the date individuals or legal entities are registered in the REPSE, regardless of whether they have made an update or modification to their registration.

• Access the platform http://repse.stps.gob.mx and provide the required information.
• Stay current with their tax and social security obligations with the competent authorities.
• Clearly establish the service they wish to provide or the type of work they intend to execute.
• Truthfully demonstrate, through information and documentation, aspects such as the average salary range, training, certifications, equipment, machinery, among others.
• Ensure that the specialized services or works they wish to register are included within their corporate purpose and, in the case of individuals, within their tax status certificate.

iii) Deadline for renewal issuance.– Once all the aforementioned requirements are met, the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare will issue the respective notice within 20 business days after receiving the request.

iv) Who should process the renewal in the REPSE.- Considering that the renewal must be processed within a period of three months prior to the expiration date of the registration, individuals or legal entities that registered between June 2021 and January 2022 will be obligated to renew this year, according to the following calendar:

v) Consequences of not carrying out the procedure on time.– Individuals or legal entities registered in the REPSE can only carry out their renewal process on the dates established above.
