On February 21, 2024, the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (“STPS” for its acronym in Spanish) issued an agreement amending the Ministerial Order that sets forth the general provisions for the registration of individuals or legal entities that provide specialized services or execute specialized works referred to in Article 15 of the Federal Labor Law (the “REPSE Order”).
The REPSE Order outlines the procedure for renewing the registration of activities in the registry of the Registry of Providers of Specialized Services or Specialized Works (“REPSE” for its acronym in Spanish).
The modifications include changes related to the renewal of the registration, the computer platform used for registration and renewal, and the requirements and documentation necessary for the process, as well as Article 13 which establishes that the 3-year validity period will be counted from the date the registration was granted. The penalty for individuals who do not renew their REPSE registration will be its cancellation.
For the renewal of the REPSE registration, it will be necessary: (i) to prove compliance with fiscal obligations and social security in front of Tax Ministry (SAT), Social Security Institute (IMSS), and Housing Fund (INFONAVIT), (ii) to carry out the process during the 3 months prior to the expiration of their registration notice according to the criteria of the STPS, (iii) to update the information and documentation provided during the initial registration process on the REPSE platform, and (iv) that the activities to be registered are part of the corporate purpose or tax status certificate and that for each activity the corresponding questionnaire is filled out.
Among other obligations, the REPSE Order requires providers of specialized services to inform their clients (beneficiaries of the services) about their renewal.
In light of the above, in Bravo Abogados we would be happy to answer any question you may have regarding this legal alert.
