What Gobierno de México does

Gobierno de México is the sovereign federal government of Mexico, operating the gob.mx unified portal as the centralized digital entry point for Mexican citizens to access federal administrative procedures (trámites), government information, and civic participation platforms. The portal is administered by the Coordinación de Estrategia Digital Nacional within the Office of the Presidency, with digital infrastructure managed by the Agencia de Transformación Digital y Telecomunicaciones. It aggregates services from numerous federal agencies including IMSS (social security), ISSSTE (federal employee pensions), SAT (tax administration), SRE (passports and consular services), SEMARNAT, COFEPRIS, RENAPO (national population registry), SEGOB, and the Secretaría de Salud, consolidating what would otherwise require navigation of dozens of disconnected agency systems.

The platform's core products include the main gob.mx portal, the CURP consultation system (18-character unique population identifier), the Mexican passport application and appointment scheduling service, a comprehensive federal procedures catalog, the datos.gob.mx open data portal, and the participa.gob.mx civic engagement platform. The technology stack is built on conventional web infrastructure with HTML/CSS and WCAG 2.0 accessibility compliance, featuring accessibility tools including grayscale mode, screen reader support, dyslexia-friendly typography, and color contrast controls. Authentication is handled through Llave MX, the national digital identity system. The portal also supports in-person service delivery through RENAPO offices domestically and the SRE consular network globally for Mexican citizens abroad.

As a government entity, the portal is funded through federal budget allocations rather than commercial revenue. Limited fee-based revenue is generated through passport services (ranging from 920 MXN for 1-year validity to 4,280 MXN for 10-year validity, with 50% discounts for seniors, persons with disabilities, and agricultural workers under Canada agreements). The customer base spans all Mexican citizens domestically, Mexican nationals abroad through consular services, and social program beneficiaries including Becas Benito Juárez and Beca Rita Cetina recipients. Distribution is primarily through self-serve web access (24/7 from computers, mobile devices, and tablets), supplemented by physical RENAPO offices and the global consular network.
