VUCEM is moving toward VUTCE along two tracks: modernizing the platform and integrating a Single Foreign Trade File for each taxpayer ID (RFC). The October 2026 presentation by the Agency for Digital Transformation and Telecommunications proposes a phased rollout by government agency.

The schedule is a proposed rollout plan. Before scheduling applications, companies should confirm operational notices and the availability of each procedure.

Two components of the implementation

01  Platform modernization

From licensed software and dedicated hardware to open-source software, virtual infrastructure and containerized services. It aims to expand capabilities and reduce dependencies and costs. The access process described includes automatic redirection and two sign-ins.

02 Company information and documents in a single file

It will consolidate data, procedures and documents for consultation and exchange among authorities. It will be developed in phases: definition, document linking, specialized consultation and traceability. Its features may be enabled at different times from the technology migration.

Proposed rollout by government agency

The schedule alone does not confirm that each group has gone live or establish a legal deadline for companies.

Planned features of the single file

01  MY PROFILE  |  Data and authorizations

Tax information, addresses and registries; IMMEX, PROSEC and Rule Eight programs; certifications, rulings, validity periods and statuses linked to the RFC.

02  MY PROCEDURES AND SERVICES  |  Tracking

Application history and associated files, with filters by agency, status and reference number to centralize tracking in one place.

03  MY FILE  |  Uploading and reuse

Articles of incorporation, official identification and proof of address. It will allow valid documents used in previous procedures to be reused.

How to prepare

• Ready-to-use documents: legible PDF files up to 5 MB. Check validity, document type, issuing authority, reference number and dates.
• Consistent data: cross-check the RFC, addresses, programs and certifications against the company’s records and rulings.
• Procedures under control: retain reference numbers and acknowledgments of receipt, and verify access and tracking after each migration.
• Assigned responsibilities: assign responsibility for reviewing official notices and documenting issues affecting applications.

These actions are preparation recommendations. The availability of each module must be verified; the requirements and deadlines for each procedure remain subject to the applicable provisions.

Conclusions

The migration aims to modernize infrastructure, while the Single File seeks to integrate information and facilitate its reuse and tracking. Companies should focus their preparation on document quality, consistency of records and continuity of their procedures, while verifying the actual availability of each feature.
