SUMMARY

National Law for the Elimination of Bureaucratic Paperwork Procedures and Corruption

José Merino, head of the Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency, reported that the proposal to issue the National Digitalization and Simplification Law will be sent to Congress. The objectives of this law are to standardize paperwork procedures, requirements, response times, and attention processes; eliminate barriers for individuals and companies; and facilitate the population’s access to their rights.

The legislation seeks to reduce corruption and discretional actions by authorities, reducing the number of paperwork procedures, requirements, and response times by 50%. Among the provisions of the law are the creation of a digital file and the implementation of the “Cuenta Llave MX” as a digital identity mechanism.
