On September 8, 2026, the Technical Council of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) approved the mandatory issuance of the Digital Employer Identification Card (Digital TIP) through the IMSS Mailbox (Buzón IMSS), as well as its use in those procedures requiring employer identification.
The Digital TIP will be generated individually for each Employer Registration Number and will allow employers to register or update up to three individuals authorized to carry out various procedures on their behalf. To generate the Digital TIP, employers must access the IMSS Mailbox, select the “Mi TIP” option under the Affiliation and Collection section, select the corresponding Employer Registration Number, and verify or modify the list of authorized individuals. Once the information has been confirmed, the system will issue the card in PDF format to be downloaded when necessary.
The Digital TIP resolution and its annexes will enter into force on September 23, 2026. In view of the foregoing, we suggest considering the following actions:
- Verify that the IMSS Mailbox is duly enabled and that the corresponding authentication methods are valid and available.
- Review and, where appropriate, update the authorized individuals associated with each Employer Registration Number, considering the maximum limit of three individuals established under the procedure.
- Generate and retain the corresponding Digital TIP once the service becomes available and the Resolution enters into force.
- Inform and train personnel responsible for carrying out employer-related procedures before the IMSS regarding the new process and the replacement of the physical card.
- Among others.
We remain at your disposal to address any questions and assist you with the implementation of these new provisions.
