Frequently asked Questions about MP.

  • Tel: 152-5522
  •  

  • What to take to the Ministerio to report a crime:
  • • Two copies of passports and Immigration documents (FM2s, FM3s, tourist cards or other visas)

    • 1 copy of electric bill or rental agreement or proof of address.

    • A Spanish speaking interpreter if needed who did not witness the crime needs voter registration or ID - if you don't speak Spanish.
    If your interpreter is not a Mexican citizen, he/she will need copies of passport.


    • Photos of the items which were stolen


  • How much time does it take to file a report with the Ministerio?

  • At least an hour, but it could be longer.

  • Can a neighbor file a denuncia?
  • No. The MP won't take a denuncia from a neighbor who doesn't have the deed or electric bill in his name.

  • Why bother to make a report?
  • A major reason to report these crimes to the Ministerio Publico is that police funding is based on the number of reported crimes. No matter how many people know about it, or how many police officers respond to the call, the crime does not become official until filed with the correct authorities. Source: Guad Reporter
