National Institute of Transparency for Access to Information and Personal Data Protection


The National Institute of Transparency for Access to Information and Personal Data Protection was a public organization in Mexico that guarantees access to public information as well as protection of personal data. The INAI also has a National Transparency Platform, which allows the digital requesting and accessing of public information.
The institute was created in 2002, and its name was changed from the Federal Institute of Transparency for Access to Information and Personal Data Protection in 2014.
In 2024, President López Obrador proposed a constitutional reform to eliminate the INAI and six other constitutional organizations. This proposal was approved for discussion by the Chamber of Deputies. The dissolution of the Institute was formally effected through the promulgation of the new transparency and personal data protection laws by decree on March 20, 2025. This decree established the new guarantor authorities, including Transparencia para el Pueblo, which succeeded the INAI in its institutional functions.
