A national credential, issued locally
Mexico issues a Credencial Nacional para Personas con Discapacidad, but it is issued through state DIF systems and municipal offices under national criteria, so the format, the issuing office and the process differ between states.
Underlying it is a certificado médico de discapacidad from a public health institution. The credential proves recognised status; the medical certificate carries the finding. We name the state and the issuing body.
The certificate comes from a public institution
The medical certificate is issued by a physician in a public health institution — IMSS, ISSSTE, the Secretaría de Salud or a state health service — rather than by a private doctor, and it names the institution and the physician's professional licence number (cédula profesional).
That licence number is how the certifying physician is verified, and we reproduce it exactly rather than describing the document as signed by a doctor.
No single national percentage
Mexico does not operate a single national disability percentage of the European kind. Where a percentage appears it is usually a work-incapacity valuation under IMSS rules for an occupational injury or illness, assessed against a statutory table.
That is a different concept from a disability grade, and conflating them misstates the finding. We say which instrument the number comes from.
The CURP, and validity
The credential carries the holder's CURP, which is derived from the name and date of birth and is the cross-check against the rest of the packet.
Credentials carry a validity period and are renewed. An expired credential is not evidence of current status, and the date is frequently on the reverse — we translate both faces. See our Spanish page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
Frequently asked questions
Is there one Mexican disability certificate?
A national credential exists but is issued through state and municipal offices, so format and process vary. We name the state and the issuing body.

No. The medical certificate comes from a public health institution and names the physician's cédula profesional.
My document shows a percentage.
Usually an IMSS work-incapacity valuation for an occupational injury, not a disability grade. We say which instrument it comes from.
Does it expire?
