Safe Creative Integrates NOM-151 Certification to Strengthen Legal Validity in Mexico
In our commitment to providing the highest guarantees of integrity and legal certainty in digital document certification, Safe Creative has incorporated compliance with the NOM-151 standard into its processes.
This feature is now enabled by default for all users in Mexico from May 12th 2026 on, ensuring they automatically benefit from an additional layer of protection and regulatory compliance regarding the preservation of their data messages, without requiring any additional configuration.
What is NOM-151 and What is Its Purpose?
NOM-151-SCFI-2016 is an Official Mexican Standard that establishes the technical requirements for the preservation of data messages and the digitization of documents. Its primary goal is to guarantee that an electronic document has remained intact, unaltered, and available from the moment it was generated.
By integrating this standard, Safe Creative generates a Data Message Preservation Certificate (Constancia de Conservación de Mensajes de Datos). This is a technical file that links the certified document with a timestamp and an advanced electronic signature, strictly complying with the standards required by the Mexican Ministry of Economy (Secretaría de Economía).
The Preservation Certificate as a Key Element
The preservation certificate is the technical element that allows a user to prove to third parties, or within a judicial process, that the content of a document has not undergone any modifications. This process is carried out through an accredited Certification Service Provider (PSC), which grants a legal presumption of integrity to the digital file.
Relevance of NOM-151 in the Commercial Code
Adopting this standard is essential due to the provisions of the Mexican Commercial Code. The law establishes that for a data message to be considered full evidence in a commercial dispute, its “attributability” and “integrity” must be guaranteed.
Compliance with NOM-151 ensures that the electronic evidence presented meets the preservation requirements demanded by law, minimizing the risk of the document’s validity being questioned due to a lack of technical rigor in its storage or generation.
Benefits for Safe Creative and Safe Stamper Users
The inclusion of this feature has a positive impact on both intellectual property registration and the use of digital evidence tools:
- Reinforced Legal Security: Certifications now carry a specific and robust technical backup tailored for the Mexican jurisdiction.
- High-Reliability Evidence in Safe Stamper: Certified browsing captures, emails, and signed files now include the NOM-151 certificate, facilitating their admission in court.
- Third-Party Oversight: Using a PSC authorized by the Ministry of Economy adds an external and independent validation to Safe Creative’s infrastructure.
How to Access NOM-151 Certification
As mentioned, this functionality has been implemented transparently and is active by default for accounts registered in Mexico. Users who require their digital evidence to carry this backing will find the corresponding information integrated into their certificate details and within the evidence management section of Safe Stamper.
With this update, Safe Creative continues its adaptation to the most demanding international regulations, providing creators and companies with the necessary tools to protect their digital assets with the highest possible technical and legal solvency.
