The National Electoral Institute (INE) managed to stabilize the manufacturing of the new model of the Voting Credential. Starting this week, waiting times will begin to gradually decrease, the agency reported in an official statement.
Up to date production and reduction of deadlines
During the first seven weeks of the new contract, effective from June 1, 2026, the INE requested 2 million 415 thousand 191 credentials. Of that total, 2 million 9 thousand 877 have already been distributed to the Citizen Assistance Modules (MAC) throughout the country.
Now the production attends to the procedures carried out the day before. This allows us to begin the progressive reduction of delivery times, with the aim of returning to the usual range of six to nine calendar days.
The new contract began with a delay of 423,109 credentials, due to high demand and the exhaustion of the maximum volume of the previous contract. To guarantee the quality and security of the document, production started gradually: on the first day, 2 thousand credentials were manufactured and increased until reaching, on June 10, the contracted capacity of 90 thousand per day.
Safety standards and call to citizens
The INE stressed that this adjustment phase made it possible to verify each stage of the process and ensure the security elements of the new model. Although it was necessary to temporarily extend delivery times, once production stabilized, the institute works to meet the committed deadline.
The organization urges those who have requested registration, replacement, renewal or update to check the status of their procedure through official channels before going to a module. The gradual standardization reflects the commitment to offer a reliable, secure and timely service, maintaining the integrity of the credential, the most used identification document in Mexico.
