Asset & property investigation: common questions
Answers based on the real public sources we consult in Mexico.
What information can I get from the Public Registry of Property?
Each Mexican state’s Public Registry of Property lets you verify the authenticity of deeds, check liens or embargoes affecting a property, and review the history of registered owners. In Mexico City, for example, this is requested through the registry-history certification issued by the General Directorate of the Public Registry of Property and Commerce.
What is the cadastre, and how is it different from the Public Registry?
The cadastre records a property’s physical and fiscal characteristics (surface area, land use, assessed value), while the Public Registry of Property records legal ownership and liens. In Mexico City, updating cadastral data with the Secretariat of Administration and Finance has an official cost of between 856 and 1,711 pesos, depending on the property’s size, with a timeline of up to four months.
Does asset investigation cover the whole country?
Each Mexican state independently manages its own Public Registry of Property and its own cadastre, so investigation is done state by state, depending on where the property or interest is located. The National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) holds reference cadastral data at the national level, though filings and certifications are handled by the corresponding state authority.
What information can this investigation NOT provide?
Our investigation is limited to public, legally accessible sources. We do not access information protected under privacy law, and we do not carry out surveillance, communications interception, or any activity outside Mexico’s applicable legal framework.
