Complete Guide: Get Your IMSS Rights Certificate in Minutes

The Certificate of Valid Rights represents a fundamental document for all members of the Mexican Social Security Institute. Its main function is to officially verify that you maintain an active status and continuous access to the network of medical services provided by the institution at its care units.

One of the biggest advantages is that IMSS Digital has simplified this process, allowing you to obtain this certificate without unnecessary travel. The process is quick and accessible from any device connected to the internet.

Steps to request your rights certificate via mobile app

The first step is to have the IMSS Digital app, available on both iOS and Android platforms. After downloading it, you must complete your registration by entering your CURP and an active email address.

Once inside the app, locate the section called “Vigencia de derechos” in the main menu. When you access it, the system will immediately show your status: whether you have valid rights to receive medical care or not.

To obtain your rights certificate in downloadable format, simply press “Send to your email.” The document will arrive instantly in your inbox.

Alternative from the web platform

For those who prefer a process from a computer, the IMSS web portal offers the same functionality without requiring app installation. Just access the official site and fill in the requested fields: your CURP, social security number (NSS), and a valid email.

Once your data is verified, the rights certificate will be sent to the email you registered, and you can download it on your mobile device or PC.

Important details about the process

It is important to clarify that both the holder and an authorized third party can perform this procedure, as long as they have the NSS and a functional email. The process is free of charge.

However, there is a critical aspect: the rights certificate is only valid on the day it is issued. For this reason, you will need to generate a new certificate each time you require it, ensuring you always have current documentation.
