## Can you buy a local SIM or eSIM in Mexico without ID?

CRT documents registration of Mexican mobile lines. Its foreign-customer material lists name, country of origin and passport number or temporary CURP. The 2026 calendar sets deadlines by the final digit of the line; 31 December is not a universal deadline.

The current CRT portal describes a camera-based liveness check and says the information is discarded before completion. This is distinct from its statement that biometric data are not retained; we do not promise an absence of face verification.

The current 2026 calendar is staggered by final line digit. Numbers ending in 4 have a 15 October deadline; numbers ending in 9 have 31 December.

## What is documented for a foreign travel eSIM in Mexico?

Unknown for Mexican registration of foreign-issued roaming subscriptions. CRT's FAQ discusses registration obligations in the issuing country; that does not establish a blanket exemption under every Mexican measure.

## Does Mexico's 2026 registration calendar give everyone until December?

No. CRT's current calendar assigns a deadline by the final digit of the phone number. A traveller purchasing a Mexican line should check that line's date instead of using 31 December for every number.

The regulator's foreign-SIM FAQ discusses obligations in the issuing country. It does not establish a blanket Mexican exemption for every overseas travel eSIM, so this entry marks that scope unverified.

## What should a visitor check before travelling to Mexico?

For a Mexican line, verify the passport-number or temporary-CURP procedure with the issuing operator. This is separate from the UnlistedSIM purchase requirements.
