Who are you concerned about? Who's "him?"

My contractor.
I want to make sure that I have a release that shows:
1. I have paid him in full
2. That he was responsible for all/any taxes, Social Security, building permits, etc.
3. That he has paid his workers, sub contractors etc.
I know that this is probably a waste of time, but I have always had lien releases signed by any of my workers here in the states when I built my other
homes.

Having done quite a bit of work down here, I have never asked for a release.
If he didn't pay his workers you would know within a couple of days, besides they are his employees, not yours. They cant lien your property.
No building permit. Nobody cares once its finished.

Since you are ultimately responsible for everything you mentioned above, I'd make sure he did his part before paying him off. If he didn't, you will,
with heavy penalties.
Then, pay him off with a witnessed receipt or a check. I think that's the way I would do it.

release?
Maybe what you really need is signed receipt from the federal insurance office (sort of like social security) that the contractor has paid all fees
and taxes related to your project. I believe they can come back to you for payment regardless of what your contractor certified and contractor is not
responsible for these fees.

akshadow is correct, it is your responsibility to make sure all the payroll taxes and seguros were paid on his workers. Mexican contractors are
notoriously lax about this because it's more money in their pocket that they know will come back on you, not them.

This is not true, they can come back on you for
EVERYTHING, I know people who they have come back on for unpaid seguros, no environmental impact statements, and no building permits, years after the
fact. It's a good idea to make sure everything was done properly before you make the final payment because you will have exactly ZERO leverage when
some government agency shows up at the door later and has you over a barrel.

Get documentation of payment from AFORE, INFONAVIT, IMSS. Most places Mexican Social Security offices can check for you that the other two have been
paid, help you get the papers.
Years after my gringo pal's house here was finished, he had to go to IMSS to pay a bill in the thousands of dollars for the work his contractor did.
We took to the meeting the actual contractor/worker for whom the charges had carried forward to attest to, with his signature and sworn statement, the
day, years ago, that ended his contract with my pal. Did not save a dime of the penalty. In Mexico think: GOTTA HAVE THE PAPERS.
Blue, for a rich, smart guy with Baja experience, I'm wondering where your mind must have been wandering.
