Have a specific question? Message us on WhatsApp and our bilingual team will answer.

What is a background check in Mexico?
It is an investigation that gathers public information about an individual or a company to confirm their reputation, tax standing and employment, court or financial history before you start a business or employment relationship. For a foreign company, it is how you vet Mexican suppliers, clients, employees or signers before you commit.
What does a Z-BG report check?
RFC (Mexican taxpayer ID) and CURP (Mexican population registry ID) validation, SAT digital certificates, the RUG (Mexico's movable collateral registry), the Public Registry of Commerce (SIGER), trademarks at IMPI, the cédula profesional (Mexican professional license), federal court searches and searches in all 32 Mexican federal entities (the 31 states and Mexico City), and the SAT 69-B, anti-money laundering and PEP (politically exposed persons) lists.
How long does a report take?
Any type of report is generated in about 5 minutes, with no tiers or waiting days. You can also run bulk checks in batches (CSV or Excel) or automate them through the API.
Is the information confidential?
Yes. ZERO complies with Mexico's data protection law (LFPDPPP). Reports are generated in a secure, encrypted environment, and only authorized users can access the results. The checks run on Mexican and international public sources.
How much does Z-BG cost?
Reports come in packages priced in US dollars and valid for 12 months. The Start package is US$1,333.33 for at least 120 reports (US$11.11 per report), and the price per report goes down to US$9.44 in the Corporate package of at least 1,200 reports. Taxes not included.
