2025-03-21 | DOF 5752576Added
The National Commission for the Retirement Savings System (CNAR) amends the General Provisions to redefine 'Promoting Agent' as 'Pension Advisor' and establish new certification and recertification pathways. The rules introduce 'Update Courses' and 'Professionalization Programs' offered by designated Educational Institutions as alternatives to the Certification Exam for recertification, with validity periods of three years and permanent respectively. The amendments mandate that Administrators ensure their agents hold valid registration, which expires every three years, and require the implementation of a unified Ethics Code and Training Manual to standardize technical capacity and ethical conduct across the system.
