Private Security Permit Regularization in Mexico
Private security permit regularization in Mexico is not a simple administrative procedure, but a technical process that involves correcting non-compliance, addressing the authority’s findings, and restoring the company’s operational legality. A poorly structured regularization can result in sanctions, suspension of operations, or the permanent loss of the permit.
When is private security permit regularization necessary?
Expired or Non-Renewed Permits:
When a private security permit has expired or was not renewed within the established deadlines, the company becomes non-compliant, even if it continues operating. Regularization enables the permit’s validity to be restored in accordance with the current criteria of the competent authority.
Findings from the DGSP or the State Authority:
Observations arising from audits, verification visits, or document reviews require specialized technical attention. Failure to address them properly can increase regulatory risk and lead to administrative sanction proceedings.
Operating Outside the Authorized Scope:
Providing services in modalities, geographic areas, or operating schemes not covered by the original permit is a common irregularity. Regularization allows your actual operations to be aligned with the framework authorized by the authority.
