Is Your Creative Work at Risk in Mexico?
Creating work without copyright protection is a risky endeavor. Others can copy your books, music, software, or art. They can make money from your job while you can’t stop them.
Without INDAUTOR registration, proving ownership of your work is challenging. You might face costly legal fights. Or worse, someone could say they made your work first. Many creators learn too late that someone stole their work. Don’t let this happen to you.

What Copyright Registration in Mexico Costs, 2026
Copyright exists in Mexico from the moment a work is created. Registration is not what creates the right; what it gives you is proof of authorship and a date, which is what you need when you have to enforce.
Copyright is handled by INDAUTOR, not IMPI, and its fees are set by the Ley Federal de Derechos. These are federal duties and carry no VAT.
| INDAUTOR official fee | Cost (MXN) | Approx. USD | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registration of a literary or artistic work, graphic characteristics, phonogram, videogram or book | $367.00 | ~US$21 | Art. 184, fracc. I, II and III |
| Search of registry records | $261.00 | ~US$15 | Art. 184, fracc. IV |
| Registration of a copyright contract | $1,927.00 | ~US$110 | Art. 184, fracc. V |
| ISBN assignment | $315.00 | ~US$18 | Art. 184, fracc. XXI a) |
| ISSN assignment | $227.00 | ~US$13 | Art. 184, fracc. XXVII |
At $367 pesos, registering a work in Mexico costs about US$21.
Reservas de derechos are a different thing, and often the thing you need
A reserva de derechos is not a copyright registration. It protects titles of periodicals, artistic names, fictional or symbolic characters and promotional campaigns. It is frequently what a foreign company actually needs when it believes it needs a trademark or a copyright.
| Reserva de derechos | Cost (MXN) | Approx. USD | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Periodical publications and broadcasts | $2,906.00 | ~US$166 | Art. 184, fracc. XIV |
| Fictional or symbolic characters, artistic names, group names | $5,739.00 | ~US$328 | Art. 184, fracc. XV |
| Renewal, periodicals | $1,525.00 | ~US$87 | Art. 184 |
| Renewal, characters and names | $3,001.00 | ~US$171 | Art. 184 |
Fees are published by INDAUTOR under the Ley Federal de Derechos. USD is approximate, at the Banxico FIX rate of 17.5130 MXN per USD published on 24 July 2026.
Our fees are quoted per case. For a single work it is a small job. For a catalogue, a character portfolio, or anything involving contracts and assignments, it is not.
