what is the meaning of curp
CURP is the abbreviation for Clave Ãnica de Registro de PoblaciÃ³n (translated into English as Unique Population Registry Code or else as Personal ID Code Number). It is a unique identity code for both citizens and residents of Mexico. Each CURP code is a unique alphanumeric 18-character string intended to prevent duplicate entries into the system. The CURP Card is needed to obtain most government services in Mexico. You can obtain one by presenting your original and a copy of your immigration (Permanent or Temporary) visa, along with your passport and a copy of the page within your passport showing your photo and date of issuance.
