Requirements to Register a .gob.mx Domain

Requirements to Register a .gob.mx Domain

Registering a domain with the .gob.mx extension requires meeting certain established guidelines. This type of domain is reserved exclusively for Mexican government entities, so official documentation supporting the request must be submitted.

Below are the requirements you must gather before starting the process:

1. Official documentation proving the government entity

You must have a recent official document (no older than 3 months) that includes:

  • Full name of the public organization.

  • Government agency or level it belongs to (municipal, state, or federal).

  • Official physical address.

  • Institutional tax ID (RFC).

Valid examples:

  • Official gazette.

  • Founding agreement.

  • Document issued by a higher authority.

2. Letterhead request for the domain

It must be signed by the legal representative and include:

  • Requested domain name.

  • Justification for the domain's use.

  • Full name, title, and signature of the responsible person.

  • Phone number and institutional email address.

  • Date of issuance.

  • It must be addressed "To Whom It May Concern"

3. Official ID of the signer

legible copy of a valid government-issued ID of the person signing the letter must be attached. Accepted IDs include:

  • INE (Mexican voter ID).

  • Passport.

  • Professional license (Cédula Profesional).

4. Domain alignment with the official name

The requested domain name must be directly related to the official name of the entity. The name may be rejected if it contains generic terms, unrecognized abbreviations, or creates ambiguity.

5. Approval time

Once all requirements have been submitted, the validation and authorization process may take between 1 and 5 business days.

Recommendations

  • Double-check the spelling and consistency of the requested domain.

  • Avoid including unnecessary hyphens or special characters.

  • Make sure the institutional contact email is active.
