<p>The public domain nature is indeed probably at least true for the
Mexico97 geoid as it's available from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://geodesy.noaa.gov/GEOID/MEXICO97/">https://geodesy.noaa.gov/GEOID/MEXICO97/</a></p>
<p>And the xGEOID20 (although it doesn't seem the data available for
download includes yet Mexico) also mentions Mexico (and has a
contact information):

If my memory serves me correctly, the U.S. National Geodetic
Survey (NGS) computed the Mexican geoid. Dr. Tomas Soler was
involved as I recall who is/was the Senior Geodesist at NGS. I
think it's public domain.</div>

<div>Hi</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Recently I found that Mexico has a geoid model, used
with vcrs NAVD88: GGM10 - Geoide gravimétrico mexicano
2010<br>
</div>

<div>The file is a text format, lat, long, undulation. It
should be easy to import.</div>
<div>The reference is ITRF2008 epoch 2010 (it sounds strange
to me not using NAD83x, but it is fine, right?... well,
epoch 2010 instead of 2005 may be a problem)</div>
<div>Unfortunately I didn't find any transformation in EPSG
from ITRF2008 (epoch 2010) to NAVD88. We should do a PROJ
one for the database (or ask them to do in EPSG, but
without much hope).<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The main problem, as usual, is the "home made" license
(for everything in their webpage). It seems to be very
open, but it is not a "standard" one:<br>

</div>
<div>What should we do?</div>
<div>Maybe somebody already researched this geoid
previously.</div>
