What this guide is
Guía PLD explains, in plain language, what Mexico's Anti-Money Laundering Law (LFPIORPI) and its Regulations say: what anti-money laundering is, who it applies to, what obligations it imposes and what the key concepts mean —Vulnerable Activity, Beneficial Owner, Politically Exposed Person, Report, among others—.
The goal is simple: to help any company understand where it stands on AML before diving into the legal detail or hiring anything.
Who publishes it
Guía PLD is published by CoreWorks, a Mexican company based in Puebla, Mexico. CoreWorks builds PLD Central, a platform to operate and document AML compliance (files, risk, beneficial owner, PEP, reports and an audit log).
For transparency: this site is a CoreWorks resource and, naturally, it invites you to discover PLD Central. Even so, the content aims to be useful on its own — whether or not you use our product.
How we make it
- Based on official sources. Every normative statement is grounded in the text published in Mexico's Official Gazette (DOF): the LFPIORPI and its Regulations.
- In plain language. We translate the rules into understandable terms, without losing the reference to the article that backs them.
- Not legal advice. It is informational content; compliance decisions must be validated against the current text and with a specialist.
- We keep it current. We update the content as the law and its rules change (the most recent amendments are from 2025–2026).
