IFETEL: The Transition to the Comisión Reguladora de Telecomunicaciones

April 2, 2026

The telecommunications landscape in Mexico has recently undergone a significant institutional transformation. The regulatory body previously known as IFETEL has officially transitioned its functions to the Comisión Reguladora de Telecomunicaciones. This administrative shift is a critical update for international manufacturers and distributors who have historically relied on IFETEL Registrations to certify their wireless and radio-frequency equipment for the Mexican market.

Although the oversight entity has been restructured, the technical standards for safety and interoperability continue to be mandatory. If your current compliance strategy involves legacy IFETEL Registrations, it is important to note that all administrative processes are being redirected to the new Commission. This ensures that the technical integrity of the telecommunications sector remains intact during the transition.
