Apostille in Ciudad de México

Verified as of August 9, 2026

Everything below is transcribed from this office's own published sources and printed in its words. A value we could not confirm against an official page carries an unverified marker — but the absence of that marker is not a guarantee that a fact was checked, and the source's own doubts stay inside the notes reproduced here verbatim. Confirm fees, addresses and deadlines with the office before you send documents or money.

About this entry's sources: cdmx.gob.mx blocked/intermittently failed automated fetch on the research date (reference §5 blocked-site list) — the trámite page could not be read directly, so the fee is press-sourced and the office data comes from the official CEJUR PDF plus the SRE consulate directory. Fees reset each January (Código Fiscal CDMX). Phase-4 manual re-verification queue

Who issues the apostille

Competent authority

Consejería Jurídica y de Servicios Legales — Dirección General Jurídica y de Estudios Legislativos (DGJEL)

The one federative entity whose apostille office is NOT a Secretaría General de Gobierno: in Ciudad de México it is the DGJEL of the Consejería Jurídica y de Servicios Legales (CEJUR); the window is co-located with the Archivo General de Notarías. Trámite: "Legalización y/o Apostilla de firma y sello en documentos públicos expedidos por servidores públicos o Notarios Públicos de la Ciudad de México". Tel. 55 5522 5140 ext. 108/110 (per the CEJUR atención-ciudadana PDF, consejeria.cdmx.gob.mx). Federal-authority documents go to SEGOB (mx/federal); a document from another state must be apostilled by that state — the signature must be registered with the office that apostilles

Which documents this office will accept

From the source: Requirements: completed form TCEJUR-DGJEL_LYA_1; the original document with a registered signature/seal; official ID (INE, passport, cartilla, cédula) original + copy; proof of payment (línea de captura + receipt). Covers documents issued by CDMX public servants and by notarios públicos of Ciudad de México. CURP certifications and federal-agency documents issued in CDMX go to SEGOB (mx/federal), not to DGJEL. Private documents must first be notarized before a notario público (or certified by a registered official); there is no multi-step legalization chain inside Mexico for Hague-destination documents — a single apostille suffices

Certifications you may need first

No additional certification step is required before the apostille.

The request form

Form: A PDF request form.
Form number: TCEJUR-DGJEL_LYA_1
From the source: "Solicitud de Legalización y/o Apostilla", form TCEJUR-DGJEL_LYA_1 — downloadable from the CDMX portal (no direct official PDF URL captured; a copy circulates at es.scribd.com/document/633821083, which is not an official source)

Requesting online

Online route: There is no online request route — this office takes requests on paper.
From the source: "de manera presencial" only — no online apostille. No Mexican state was found to issue true electronic apostilles (apostilla electrónica) as of Aug 2026; all 32 state processes located are in-person/paper

Hours

Reception 9:00–11:00, delivery 12:00–14:00 (CEJUR atención-ciudadana PDF)

Same-day service

Available.

From the source

Source conflict on hours, transcribed verbatim: the CEJUR PDF gives reception 9:00–11:00 / delivery 12:00–14:00 while press (MVS, Mar 2025) gives "Mon–Fri 9:00–13:30 with same-day delivery" — the official CEJUR PDF is the field value. Walk-in: no citas system found

What it costs

Fee

$123.00 MXN per document unverified

$123 MXN per document (MVS Noticias, Mar 2025, citing the trámite; set by the Código Fiscal CDMX, adjusted annually) (unverified against the 2026 Código Fiscal) — press-sourced, not read off an official fee page

“Unverified” marks a value we could not confirm against an official page. Facts without the marker are not therefore audited — always confirm money and addresses with the office before you send anything.

How to pay

In person: Bank deposit.
From the source: Proof of payment is a línea de captura plus the payment receipt, presented with the application; the source does not state which banks or whether online banking is accepted. No check payee — the fee is a government-derechos payment

Where to send your documents

No mailing address is published for this office. Do not send original documents anywhere until you have confirmed the address with the office itself.

How long it takes unverified

In person: Same day (press, MVS Mar 2025 — Mon–Fri 9:00–13:30 with same-day delivery)
From the source: Per the CEJUR atención-ciudadana PDF the window runs reception 9:00–11:00 and delivery 12:00–14:00, i.e. same-day delivery for documents received in the morning

Checking status and verifying an apostille

Verify an issued apostille: No public verification register is published for this office. That is not the same as an apostille being unverifiable — ask the office how it confirms one.
Check a request's status: No status-tracking page is published for this office.

Remote online notarization

Mexico has no remote online notarization. Notarial acts are performed by civil-law notarios públicos, and a document notarized remotely abroad has no notarial value here. The source's own statement is reproduced verbatim in the notes on this page.

Other things the source says

No RON: Mexico uses civil-law notarios públicos, has no Remote Online Notarization equivalent, and foreign RON documents have no notarial value in Mexico — the ron block is null on every Mexican entry. The dated HCCH state PDF still lists this entity as "Distrito Federal" with website www.df.gob.mx
