Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez of the State of Mexico launched the Credentialing Program for Public Servants of the central government sector. The main objective is to provide each state worker with an official and tamper-proof document that certifies their identity and affiliation. More than 134,000 people will be reached by this mass credentialing process.
In the Governor's words, this effort seeks to identify, protect, and dignify all members of the government team who work daily for and with the population. The credential will offer benefits such as discounts at establishments, access to sports activities, recreational workshops, book loans, tourist trips, attendance at festivals, and ticket purchases for movies.
The governor emphasized that the credential is not just a document, but a symbol of the vocation, trust, and pride with which one must serve in government. She stressed the importance of working as a team with honesty and vocation to transform the State of Mexico through public service, under the philosophy of The Power to Serve.
The Chief Officer of the State of Mexico, Ma. Trinidad Franco Arpero, announced that 15 modules will be established in 13 municipalities in collaboration with the Secretariat of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation to issue the new identifications. These credentials will include security features such as a photograph, QR code, identification data, ultraviolet filters, and microtext readable under magnification technology to prevent counterfeiting.
During the kickoff event at the Government Palace, the Governor handed out the first credentials and detailed the process for issuing these documents. Authorities such as the Secretary General of Government of the State of Mexico, the Secretary of Labor, and the Head of SECTI, as well as union representatives from teachers and workers of the State of Mexico, also attended.
