Documents Required to Buy Property in Mexico

When purchasing property in Mexico as a foreigner, you must present certain standard documents to the Notary, in addition to having the required funds available.

These typically include:

• A valid passport

• A second form of photo identification (such as a driver’s license)

• Proof of address, either from your home country or Mexico (recent utility bill)

• Personal details: full legal name, date and place of birth, current address, email, and phone number

• Beneficiary information: full legal names, copies of passports or official IDs, and addresses

• Mexican CURP number (if applicable)

• Mexican RFC number (if available; if not, a generic foreigner RFC will be issued at closing)

Having these documents prepared in advance helps ensure a smooth and efficient closing process with the Notary.
