How to Obtain an IMSS Health Card: Requirements and Application Steps
The IMSS health card is essential for full access to social security services in Mexico. To apply, you must have a valid Social Security Number (NSS) and your CURP identification ready.
With the documents in hand, you can either visit your nearest Family Medicine Unit for a face‑to‑face request or complete the process through the official IMSS online portal. The digital route requires uploading scanned copies and completing identity verification steps.
Approval usually takes a few business days, after which the card is mailed to the applicant.
