What does the abbreviation CRIP and CURP mean on a death certificate from Mexico?

Answer 1

In Mexico the CURP and CRIP appear in practically all official certificates issued in Mexico as of President Ernesto Zedillo's Administration (1994-2000), October 23, 1996. Not every person's documents have their CURP or CRIP numbers but their documents do have a field for that. Increasingly, people are being required to have those numbers especially the CURP in order to file taxes and other official procedures such as getting married, voting, buying and selling property, enrolling for school and so on. C.U.R.P. (Clave Única de Registro de Población) = Single Population Registration Code Clave Única de Registro de Población This a registration number assigned to all individuals living within Mexico, as well as Mexicans living abroad. The National Population Registry is responsible for assigning CURP numbers and issuing the corresponding certificate. It contains 18 alphanumeric characters generated from the Identification Document provided (usually a Mexican Birth Certificate, Naturalization Certificate, or migratory document) and is comprised by: a) The person's paternal last name, mother's original last name, and first name b) The person's date of birth c) Gender d) Mexican State of birth or born outside Mexico. e) The last two characters in the CURP prevent duplicate numbers and guarantee that the code is correct. For Example: Gregorio Morales Loranca born in Tlaxcala on August 31, 1994. MOLG 940831 H TL RRR O 9 MO = Initial and vowel of Last Name L = Initial of Mother's Last Name G = Initial of First Name 940831 (two digits year, month and day of birth) H = Gender : H for "hombre" (male) and M for "mujer" (female). TL = Abbreviation of TLaxcala. Each state has a two letter code and people born abroad are NE "Nacido en el Extranjero" (born abroad). RRR = are the internal consonants of the last name, mother's maiden name and first name O = a letter or digit code to assure there is no duplication. 9 = Verification Digit.
