On February 21, 2024, it was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation the agreement that modifies the relevant agreement that contains the general provisions for the registration of natural or legal persons that provide specialized services or carry out specialized tasks as provided in article 15 of the Mexican Federal Labor Law.
In this sense, as part of the modifications published to the agreement dated May 24, 2021 and subsequently modified on February 3, 2023, it is established that the REPSE must be renewed through the platform that the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (“STPS”) established for this purpose within a period of three months prior to the date on which the validity of the registration concludes.
Likewise, natural or legal persons who process the RESPE registration, or its renewal, may follow up on said procedures through the abovementioned platform using the assigned entry folio number.
Likewise, similar to the registration process before the REPSE, for renewal procedures the respective renewal notice must also be issued, which must include: (i) the registration number; (ii) the activity folio number for each service or specialized task; (iii) the name of the service or specialized task; and (iv) the name of the natural or legal person who filed such process.
Furthermore, the three-year validity of the REPSE will be counted as of the moment the natural or legal persons have been registered in the REPSE’s registry, regardless of whether they made modifications to their REPSE in the future.
Moreover, for the renewal of the REPSE, a module will be enabled on the aforementioned platform called “Registration Renewal” (“Renovación de Registro”) in which said procedure can be carried out on the dates set forth by the STPS in accordance with the following calendar:
Registration year | Registration granting month | Registration renewal month |

In the event that the renewal process is not performed within the dates established by the labor authority, once said period has elapsed, the platform will disable the renewal module and the REPSE will be cancelled; therefore, a new REPSE shall be processed and its validity will be counted as of the moment the natural or legal person is duly registered with the labor authority.
Once natural or legal persons obtain the renewal of their REPSE, they must notify said issue to third parties who benefit from the services or specialized tasks provided
Finally, the published agreement indicates that those REPSEs issued from January 1, 2024 onwards must consider their renewal in the months assigned for the years 2022 and 2023 in accordance with the aforementioned detailed calendar.
