How long does IMSS student insurance coverage last?
To find out if you are already registered in this insurance, you can check your validity of rights through the official IMSS page, you will only need your Unique Population Registry Key (CURP), your Social Security Number (NSS) and an email.
The IMSS student health insurance is valid until the beneficiary ceases to be part of a state public institution; either by desertion or by completing their studies.
Even when the student has stopped studying, he will continue to keep his NSS, which will become active when the beneficiary enters a formal job and re-registers with the IMSS.

If your school has not yet registered you, you can learn about the different registration modalities through the following link, or you can request your registration through the school services offices of your school.
It is important to mention that this insurance is unique and does not require an age limit for its application; since it covers any public school student of any age, as long as they are discharged and have their current enrollment in the institution.
The documentation you require to sign up for student health insurance is an official identification and proof of address no older than three months. If you are a minor, you do not require identification.
