What is my actual FM3#

[mr bill]

Frank I think the FM-3 number will be the one on the back of the card which on my FM-2 looks like NO.IN3,109

The NUE stands for Numero Unico de Extranjero
On my old FM3 there was a RNE number. RNE stands for Registro Nacional de Extranjeros.

In your letter why not put the NO. # then in brackets the NUE #


If you have a CURP and I think everyone with FM's now does it will be listed on the front of the card. You can check your CURP Tipo y Datos Probatorio here and see what the Registro Civil is using. It will probably be the RNE number. This will need to be updated to the NUE if you are doing any other government business e.g with the S.A.T. who refused to give me a Bar Code for my new facturas until I changed the RNE to a NUE. You should be able to make the change in the Registro Civil in Jardin Cantador [state office] or in Juan Valle [city office]
