About the Event
The Feria de Afores 2025, the largest in its history due to its five-day duration, is expected to attract over 110,000 visitors. This event offers a unique opportunity for individuals to complete various pension-related tasks without visiting multiple institutions, as it brings together at least 35 relevant organizations and all 10 Afores in the country.
Most Sought-After Trámites
A survey conducted by El Economista on the first day of the event highlighted the following five most common trámites:
- Unemployment Withdrawal. Workers with an Afore account can request a partial withdrawal of their individual savings when facing unemployment. Advisors note that this trámite is frequent due to the current labor market conditions.
- Account Unification. This process allows workers to consolidate their resources into a single individual account, regardless of whether they contributed to the IMSS or ISSSTE.
- Account Separation. This trámite resolves cases where two individuals share the same CURP or Security Social Number, ensuring each worker has their correct account and resources.
- Pension Withdrawal. This process enables workers to access the accumulated funds in their Afore, either for obtaining a pension or withdrawing the entire balance, provided they meet legal requirements.
- Personal Data Modification. This includes correcting CURP or birth certificate with official documentation in specialized modules.
Warning Against Trámites Coyotaje
The National Commission for the Savings System for Retirement (Consar) warns about “coyotes” who offer to perform these free trámites for up to 30% of the withdrawn amount.
All these services are free of charge. The Feria de Afores 2025 is an excellent chance to complete these tasks without traveling between institutions, as it gathers numerous pension-related organizations and Afores.
