How to Buy REPEP Lists from PROFECO, Step by Step (and What It Actually Takes)

DNC LATAM · Compliance guides

Yes, you can buy Mexico’s Do Not Call lists directly from the source. PROFECO sells REPEP extracts to any company that registers as a provider. This guide walks through the entire process — so you can decide whether you want to own it, or have someone own it for you.

Step 1: Register as a provider on the REPEP portal

Everything happens at repep.profeco.gob.mx, which is Spanish-only. You create a provider account (Login → registro de proveedores) supplying your company data. The portal is built for Mexican entities: expect fields that assume Mexican tax registration and a legal representative who can respond to PROFECO.

Step 2: Choose your zones

The REPEP is not sold as one national file. It is sold as separate lists per geographic zone — by state and by metropolitan area. If your dialer reaches all of Mexico, you need all the zones. Each is a separate purchase with its own price.

Step 3: Pay per zone, per period

Prices are set per zone, per semester or per year. As reference: smaller states run around $1,500 MXN per year, while the Mexico City metropolitan area approaches $25,000 MXN per year. National coverage means stacking dozens of these fees — and they are subject to change.

Step 4: Download again every 15 days

The REPEP publishes a new release every 15 days, and compliance requires checking against the current release. So the real workflow is: log in, re-download every purchased zone, rebuild your consolidated suppression file, and re-scrub your calling lists — twice a month, forever. Miss a cycle and every campaign in between is exposed.

Step 5: Keep evidence

PROFECO fines per call to a registered number. Your defense is documentation: which registry release you checked against, when, and what you suppressed. That audit trail is on you to build and maintain.

The honest math

  • Registration and portal navigation: hours of Spanish-language paperwork, once.
  • Zone purchases for national coverage: dozens of fees, renewed every period.
  • Re-downloads and consolidation: a recurring bi-monthly process, forever.
  • One missed cycle: open-ended per-call fine exposure.

If Mexico is a core market and you have Spanish-speaking ops capacity, owning this process is viable. If you’d rather not, that entire workflow — every zone, every release, plus Argentina’s registry — is what DNC LATAM sells as a $500/month subscription with unlimited scrubbing and dated certificates — add Argentina with a 10% bundle discount. Same-day access, no paperwork.
