| Summary: | Authorities in Mexico are seeking
solutions to the complex task of improving efficiency in the
financial and government sectors when identifying
individuals and legal entities, while balancing other
public-policy objectives, such as governance, technological
neutrality, safety, privacy, and universal coverage. The
objective of this document is to describe the
identity-management system (IMS) in Mexico and its
importance to the financial-sector environment while
reflecting on the need for digital identification and
authentication procedures and processes. The document will
analyze the different options for, and policy implications
of, the digital identification of individuals and legal
entities in Mexico when meeting financial policy objectives
and regulation. This document builds on the principles
established by the G20 on digital financial inclusion, the
Identity management system analysis, and the common
principles on Identification for sustainable development. It
takes into account standards and guidelines issued in the
financial-sector context that recognize the need to identify
individuals and legal entities and intends to provide
guidance to Mexican authorities when defining policies that
involve the need to identify individuals and legal entities.
The document is organized as follows: First, an executive
summary presents key observations and recommendations for
authorities. A discussion of identification systems in the
financial sector comes next, followed by a description of
the IMSs in Mexico, including the institutional
arrangements, and then by sections on digital identity and
the legal framework supporting such infrastructures.
Finally, the report concludes with a section on potential
actions, which build on initiatives in other countries,
which are included along with the report. International
standards are attached as appendixes to support the
methodology used to elaborate this document. |
