The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) offers childcare services for those workers insured and registered under the Compulsory Regime of the IMSS. In this case, employees have the right to benefit from this service for their children from the time they are 43 days old and until they reach the age of four. The application for registration for infants can be made for the nursery of your choice or virtually.

To carry out the procedure, it is important to specify that they will only be able to obtain a place in the IMSS day care centers if the insured person has the right to receive the service, whether the mother or father of the minor; and that the beneficiary worker exercises parental authority and has custody of the child who will be registered in the nursery.

In order to complete the procedure, you must meet the following requirements in order to register:

Documents of the boy or girl

1. Name and date of birth.

2. Original birth certificate or certified copy for matching, as well as a simple copy for the minor's file.

3. National Health Primer.

4. Application for medical examination of admission duly requested.

5. Evaluation of development for group assignment. This is in the event that registration is requested in the area for therapeutic support of the integrative nursery for a girl or boy with a disability.

If interested parties wish to carry out this procedure online, they may do so by going to the following website: https://stigi.imss.gob.mx/, where they will have to enter the information required to start with the registration of infants to a nursery school in the IMSS. After capturing the CAPTCHA code, you will need to carefully read the description of the childcare service and then select the type of insured you are.

Subsequently, you will have to validate your information with your NSS or the ADIMMS credential folio, an exclusive document for Social Security personnel that allows you to expedite the services you request, such as medical services, consultations, medications, as well as the validity of entitlements, pensions and subsidies. You will then have to capture the child's information, as well as locate the nursery where you will request the service.

If you wish to carry out the procedure in person, you can go directly to the day care center of your interest as long as you are in force as insured or insured. If you are an IMSS worker and wish to carry out your procedure in a nursery school in the IMSS Mothers Care Scheme, you will have to go directly to the National Union of Social Security Workers.
