PUI Law for hostels: comply with no IT and no high costs

The Single Identity Platform also applies to hostels. PUIhoteles keeps you compliant with no systems team, no servers and no inflated connection fees — it captures identity at the front desk and connects to the federal platform for you.

A hostel is required too, and it doesn’t need an IT department

The PUI Law (Article 12 Bis of the LGMDFP) doesn’t distinguish between a large hotel and a backpacker hostel: every lodging establishment in Mexico must register guest identity and connect to the Single Identity Platform. The Article 43 Bis fine applies to both alike.

The difference is that a hostel rarely has the budget for developers or the connection costs other providers charge. PUIhoteles exists for exactly that: we handle the technical and legal part at a price built for small operations, with nothing for you to set up.

Comply without the hassle or overspending

We do the technical part; you just register whoever arrives.

A price for hostels

A one-time setup of $4,350 MXN and $930 MXN per month, no lock-in. Cheaper than connectors that also require a separate PMS.

Capture at the front desk

CURP and INE for Mexicans; passport or migratory form for foreigners. Ideal for a hostel with guests from all over the world.

Connection done by us

No servers, no certificates to maintain. We connect you to the federal platform and answer the queries for your hostel.

What a hostel needs, without what it doesn’t

Full compliance, in a tool that’s simple to use at the counter.

Built for foreigners

Most of your guests come from abroad: we capture passport or migratory form plus nationality, exactly as the law requires.

Fast group check-in

Register quickly even when several arrive at once. The flow is built so the front desk keeps no line.

We handle LlaveMX and e.firma

The most confusing government steps, sorted out with you step by step to get your hostel registered.

Protected data

AES-256 and TLS — your guests’ identity stored to the Technical Manual standard, with nothing for you to administer.

Registry ready for review

Every guest is registered and kept. If the authority visits, your information is in order.

No notebooks or Excel

Forget the front-desk notebook: the record is digital, validated and exportable whenever you need it.

Frequently asked questions

Does the PUI Law apply to a hostel?
Yes. Article 12 Bis of the LGMDFP applies to ALL lodging, hostels included, regardless of size. The obligation and the fine are the same as for a large hotel.
I have no systems team, can I still comply?
Of course. PUIhoteles handles the entire technical part for you: connection, encryption and answering queries. You need no developers, no servers and no technical knowledge.
Why is it cheaper than other PUI connectors?
Because PUIhoteles is identity capture and federal connection in a single tool. Other providers charge more for the connection and also require a separate PMS. Here you pay $930 MXN per month, no lock-in.
Most of my guests are foreigners, how do I register them?
With a passport or migratory form (FMM) plus their nationality. The law allows it expressly and PUIhoteles already supports it. It’s perfect for an international hostel.
