The Certificate of Validity of Rights is an essential document for anyone affiliated with the Mexican Social Security Institute. This certificate demonstrates your active status and guarantees your access to the network of medical services available at IMSS clinics and hospitals. The main advantage is that you no longer need to physically go to your Family Medicine Unit, as the IMSS Digital platform allows you to complete the entire process online, whether from your mobile device or desktop computer.

Request your Certificate of Validity through the mobile app

The process begins by downloading the IMSS Digital app, available on iOS and Android. Once installed, you must create your account by entering your CURP and an active email address. After completing the registration, go to the " Validity of Rights" section in the main menu of the app.

In this section, your affiliation status will be automatically displayed, confirming whether your medical benefits are still valid. To receive your certificate in your inbox, simply select the " Send to your email" option and that’s it: in a few minutes, the document will be available for download or printing.

Obtain your certificate from the web platform

If you prefer not to install the app, the alternative is to access the IMSS Digital portal directly. In this online version, you will need to enter three pieces of information: your CURP, your social security number (NSS), and a valid email address. After submitting this information, the system will process your request and automatically send the certificate to the email you provided, ready for download from any device.

Important details about the certificate of validity

It is important to note that any person can request this certificate, whether the direct affiliate or a third party with the corresponding NSS and an available email address. The process is free of charge, completely free. However, there is a crucial limitation: the certificate is only valid on the date of issuance, which means that each time you need this document, you will have to generate a new version. Therefore, it is recommended to obtain it close to the date you require it for procedures or inquiries with third parties.
