Use this generator to build a customized Mexico production legal checklist tailored to your project type, shoot region, and structure. Select your project type (feature, commercial, music video, documentary, branded content, reality, or stills), answer six production-detail questions, and get a categorized checklist of Mexican legal requirements with deep links to ANFEPA’s practice-focused guides for each item.
What the Generator Covers
The checklist adapts across nine categories: permits (CFILMA, INAH, SEMARNAT, ZOFEMAT), talent contracts and image rights (Article 87 LFDA + 2026 AI provisions), crew compliance and payment flow (REPSE, IMSS, CFDI), tax structure and incentives (EFICA, 0% VAT), customs and equipment import (ATA Carnet, RETIR), music clearance (SACM, SOMEXFON, ANDI), IP and chain of title (including 2022 indigenous heritage law), insurance and bonding (E&O with 2026 AI exclusions), distribution and streaming (Federal Audiovisual Law), and on-set inspection readiness.
How to Use the Output
Items are tagged Critical, High, or Standard priority. Critical items typically cannot be remediated post-shoot; high-priority items are common deal-killers in streamer business affairs diligence; standard items round out the compliance posture. Tick off items as you go — the progress bar tracks completion — and use the print/PDF export to bundle the checklist with your pre-production package.
