The CURP (Clave Única de Registro de Población) is an 18-character alphanumeric code assigned by the Mexican government to every Mexican citizen and legal resident. It is Mexico's equivalent of a national ID number.
Why does Aureo require it?
Aureo complies with Mexican anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. The CURP is a mandatory requirement to verify your identity as part of the Tier 1 KYC (Know Your Customer) process, along with your official ID and proof of address.
What does a CURP look like?
It has exactly 18 characters. Example: GOML850101HDFNZR09
It encodes your name, birthdate, birthplace, and sex.
