Mexico RFC Tax ID
The RFC (Registro Federal de Contribuyentes) is Mexico’s tax identification number. If you’re living in Mexico, running a business, or earning income locally, you need one — it’s required to open a bank account, work legally, issue invoices, buy property, and sign most contracts. MLL handles the entire registration process, including your SAT appointment, document prep, and e.firma setup.

Program Overview
The RFC is issued by SAT, Mexico’s tax authority, and sits at the start of the tax-setup chain most residents need — Mexico residency, then CURP, then RFC, then e.firma. Without an RFC, most banks won’t open an account, employers can’t run payroll for you, and you can’t issue an official invoice (factura). MLL manages the full registration end-to-end so you don’t navigate SAT’s Spanish-language process alone.
Who Needs an RFC?
- Residents working in Mexico — employed or self-employed
- Freelancers billing Mexican clients — to issue facturas
- Property buyers — for purchase and ongoing property tax
- Business owners — all Mexican businesses need an RFC
- Anyone opening a bank account — most banks now require it
How to Qualify
- CURP — Mexico’s personal ID number (MLL can help obtain this too, if you don’t have it yet)
- Proof of address in Mexico — utility bill, bank statement, or rental contract
- Valid ID — passport or Mexican residency card
- Email address — for SAT communications
Total Cost Overview
| Cost Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| MLL service fee (document review, tax regime consultation, appointment scheduling, accompaniment, e.firma setup) | $350 |
| SAT government fee | $0 — SAT does not charge to register an RFC |

Application Process
- Document review — MLL confirms your CURP, proof of address, and ID are in order.
- Tax regime consultation — MLL advises which tax regime fits your situation (RESICO, general regime, etc.) before you register.
- SAT appointment scheduling — MLL secures your appointment at the tax office.
- In-person registration — MLL accompanies you to SAT for biometric registration.
- RFC issued — same-day at your appointment; MLL helps set up your e.firma for online filings.
The exact process and logistics may vary depending on your situation and current SAT processing timelines. We confirm specifics during onboarding or your consultation.
What You Receive
- An active RFC — registered with SAT, ready to present to banks, employers, or for invoicing
- Tax regime guidance — a recommendation on RESICO vs. the general regime based on your situation
- e.firma (electronic signature) — set up for online tax filings
- Document checklist and appointment coordination — so nothing is missing at SAT
What MLL Does
- Reviews your CURP, proof of address, and ID before booking your SAT appointment
- Advises on which tax regime suits your situation before you register
- Secures your SAT appointment and prepares your document package
- Accompanies you to your SAT appointment
- Helps you set up your e.firma for online tax filings
MLL is not advisory-only here. Compared to navigating SAT’s appointment system and Spanish-language registration process yourself, you get document review, tax regime guidance, appointment scheduling, and in-person accompaniment for one fee.

Who This Service Is Not For
- Tourist visa holders — a tourist visa does not qualify you for an RFC; you need temporary or permanent residency, or another visa that permits activities in Mexico.
- Anyone expecting a fully remote registration — SAT requires in-person biometric registration; there is currently no remote RFC path.
- Anyone without a CURP yet — a CURP is a prerequisite; MLL can help you obtain one first if needed.
After You Purchase
- Confirmation email — receipt and a document checklist within 1 business day.
- Document review — you submit your CURP, proof of address, and ID.
- Tax regime consultation — MLL advises on the right regime for you.
- SAT appointment — MLL schedules and accompanies you to your in-person registration.
- Delivery — your RFC is issued same-day, and MLL helps set up your e.firma.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Mexican residency to get an RFC?
No, but you need a valid visa that allows you to conduct activities in Mexico. Tourist visas don’t qualify, but temporary and permanent residency do.
How long does it take?
Once MLL has your documents, an appointment can typically be scheduled within 1–2 weeks. The RFC is issued same-day at your appointment.
How much does it cost, all-in?
See checkout for the full MLL service — document review, tax regime consultation, appointment scheduling, accompaniment, and e.firma setup. SAT does not charge a separate government fee to register an RFC.
Can I get an RFC remotely?
No. You must appear in person at a SAT office for biometric registration (fingerprints and photo).
What happens if my registration is rejected?
Issues are usually caused by a documentation mismatch — a proof of address that doesn’t match your ID, or a missing CURP. MLL’s document review before your appointment is designed to catch these issues in advance; if SAT does flag something, we help you correct it.
