Mexico's National College of Public Notaries signs agreement with the Grand Orient of Mexico in Cancún

The National College of Public Notaries (CNFP) signed a collaboration agreement with the Grand Orient of Mexico (GODM), aimed at strengthening the legal certainty of that organization's documents and deepening institutional cooperation between the two. The signing took place in Cancún, Quintana Roo, on July 14, 2026.

Signing for the CNFP was its president, Dr. Carlos Rodolfo Yáñez Peralta, accompanied by Secretary General Roberto López Vázquez.

What the agreement covers

According to the College, the GODM will gain access to the CNFP's technological infrastructure, which includes:

• Advanced electronic signature using the SAT's e.firma.
• Public UUID-based verifiers (a unique code per document).
• Traceability, verifiable integrity and certified date for its documents.

"Public faith is a social good. When an institution decides to subject its documents to verifiability standards, it benefits and so does whoever trusts it," said Dr. Yáñez Peralta.

What it means in practice

Behind the technical language are simple, useful ideas for anyone:

• A UUID verifier lets anyone confirm whether a document is authentic by typing or scanning a code, without relying on anyone's word.
• The e.firma is the same electronic signature the SAT uses for tax procedures, with legal validity.
• The certified date proves a document existed on a given date, key to preventing forgery or disputes.

Together, these tools aim to make documents harder to forge and easier to verify. The fact that the signing took place in Cancún positions the city as the host of a nationwide agreement on legal certainty and document digitization.
