A DOF publication What does this entry say?
Paste the id of an entry in Mexico's Diario Oficial de la Federación and read its full text, with the date, edition, section, page, issuing branch, agency and a link to its official page. Free, no login.
The full text of a DOF entry
Given an entry's id you get its record and its content: the heading, the publication date, the edition (morning, evening or extraordinary), the section, the first and last page, the issuing branch, the responsible agency and administrative unit, and the text exactly as published, returned in character ranges so even a full decree comes back whole. It is the direct way to quote a decree, an agreement, a circular, a coordination convenio or the day's official exchange rate with its exact wording, without retyping it. Everything published before the 1973 volume is held as a scan, as are some section headers: the result flags those and returns a link to the official scanned page instead of the text.
The entry's record
Heading, date, edition, section and first and last page within the issue.
Who issued it
The issuing branch plus the agency and administrative unit responsible for the publication.
Text and link
The full text in character ranges, links to the official page and to the scanned page, and a flag when the entry is a scan.
Common questions
- Where does the text come from?
- From the Diario Oficial de la Federación. Croma queries the DOF and returns the entry as separate fields, with the link to its official page in the same result. This is an informational lookup: for legal purposes cite the official publication.
- Where do I find the publication id?
- In the DOF by date tool: pick the day and copy the id field of the entry you want. It also appears in the address of each publication's official page, as a number of up to 12 digits.
- Is it free? Are there any limits?
- Yes, it is free and needs no account. There is only a cap on lookups per hour from the same connection to prevent abuse, and one entry per lookup. For volume or daily monitoring, use the Croma API.
- Why can I not see the entry's text?
- Because that publication ran as an image only and has no retrievable text. The result flags it and still returns the record, its position in the issue and the official link so you can read it. If the id matches no entry, the lookup comes back empty.
