According to article 25 of the FLL, the following information must be included in an employee’s contract: full name, date of birth, nationality, gender, marital status, address, Federal Taxpayers Registry number, and Unique Population Registration Key. To verify such information, employers may ask employees to provide their official identification, proof of address, Tax Identification Card, and professional and academic records, among other documents as deemed necessary. 

Furthermore, given the requirements to be met by the general manager and officers, it is common practice in Mexico to include a statement in their employment contracts whereby they state that they:

  • are in good standing;
  • are resident in Mexico;
  • have legal, financial and management expertise;
  • have satisfactory credit record and credit eligibility; and
  • have no legal impediment to occupying such positions and rendering their services.

Additionally, the general manager of controlling entities and brokerage houses must provide a written document stating that he or she:

  • has no impediment to being appointed as general manager or officer;
  • is up to date with his or her credit obligations and of any other nature; and
  • acknowledge all rights and obligations to be assumed as a consequence of his or her appointment.
