PUI Law for hotels: comply without slowing your operation

Every hotel in Mexico is required to register guest identity and connect to the Single Identity Platform. PUIhoteles captures that identity at check-in, keeps your registry and answers for you — from $930 MXN per month.

Why does your hotel have to comply with the PUI Law?

PUI (the Single Identity Platform) comes from the General Law on Enforced Disappearance (LGMDFP). Its Article 12 Bis requires every lodging establishment to register guest identity; its Article 43 Bis penalizes non-compliance. It is not a tourism or tax rule: its sole purpose is to help locate people reported missing.

It applies to your hotel regardless of size, category or whether you operate as an individual or a company. An 8-room boutique or a 300-room chain: the obligation is the same. The difference is in how you comply without slowing down check-in or hiring an IT team.

What PUIhoteles does for your hotel

The legal and technical side of PUI, handled so you just welcome guests.

Capture at check-in

CURP and INE for Mexican guests; passport or migratory form plus nationality for foreigners. In seconds, without slowing the front desk.

Registry always up to date

Every guest is registered and kept, ready for any review, with no loose notebooks or spreadsheets.

Answers to the queries

When the authority asks about a person, we answer for your hotel. You avoid the fine and the manual paperwork.

Built for a hotel’s operation

Fast capture, validated data and federal connection, inside your front-desk flow.

No slowdown at arrival

Identity is recorded during the same check-in. The guest gets in fast and your counter keeps no line.

Validated data

We verify the CURP format and documents before storing them, so your registry stays clean.

LlaveMX and e.firma

We guide you to get your LlaveMX and SAT e.firma, and register your hotel on the government portal.

Federal-grade encryption

AES-256, SHA3-256 and TLS — the standard the PUI Technical Manual requires. Your guests’ identity, protected.

Connected to R2 OS

It all runs on R2 OS in real time. If you already have a PMS, we work with it too.

Exportable registry

Your hotel keeps control of its record and can export it whenever needed.

The fine you avoid

Article 43 Bis of the LGMDFP penalizes non-compliance with a fine of 10,000 to 20,000 UMA per infraction: roughly $1.17 to $2.35 million pesos. For a hotel, a single infraction can cost more than years of compliant operation.

PUIhoteles keeps you on the right side: identity captured, registry kept and queries answered. The cost of complying is a tiny fraction of the cost of not doing so.

Frequently asked questions

Does the PUI Law apply to my hotel even if it’s small?
Yes. Article 12 Bis of the LGMDFP applies to EVERY lodging establishment in Mexico, regardless of size, category or whether you’re an individual or a company. A boutique hotel complies just like a chain.
Do I need developers or an IT team?
No. PUIhoteles handles the technical part: the certified connection, encryption and answering queries. We also guide you with LlaveMX and e.firma. You keep running your hotel.
Does this slow down my check-in?
No. Identity is captured within the same arrival process, in seconds. The guest gets in fast and your front desk keeps no line.
When do I have to be connected to the federal platform?
The obligation to capture identity is already in force. Full federal interconnection opens once the government publishes the SNIP Operation Manual, which is still pending. That’s why the best move is to capture identity today and be ready to connect the moment it’s released.
How much does it cost?
A one-time setup of $4,350 MXN plus $930 MXN per month (plus VAT), connected to R2 in real time and with no lock-in. If you want to run your whole hotel in a single system, PUI is included in R2 OS.
