You’re awesome for relaying what you need to get your dual citizenship. As I was just in Guadalajara, visiting my dad and my family and before I left the states I brought my documentation of my birth with my drivers and my tribal affiliation and the second day I was in Mexico. I went and applied for my citizenship with my father as he was my interpreter. And thank God that I brought all my documentation that I needed I thought because it was exactly what I needed and my father had to get his birth certificate to show that he was Mexican citizen and not even two or three days later went back into the office and I was officially a citizen of Mexico 🇲🇽 and now I have my birth certificate and Mexican. so my next step I’m praying for is to get my passport when I go back and I will try to help my Tia there also who is never traveled outside of Mexico. So we both can get our passports together I pray and travel outside the country together. I am trying to get all my family to get theirs so we can travel together but yes you are awesome for helping people figure out if they’re eligible or what they need to do and I very much appreciate that.

I scheduled my appointment on the internet at the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles on 04/11/2024. I selected "Passport etc" (it was wrong). I took they day off. They turned me away for not selecting the correct choice "registro Civil" was the correct choice. They told me to call again. It takes days before they have appointments available. Parking is $20.00 across the street.

Sorry friend @angelfire402 I can only imagine how frustrating that was for you. My goal at minute 1:48 of the video was to try and help people watching the video avoid that exact headache by mentioning the "Registro Civil" appointment at the Consulate for this process. I hope you'll be able to secure another appointment with a quick turnaround soon! Don't give up! We're rooting for you!! If all else fails, you most likely wont need an appointment at a Registro Civil office down here in Mexico! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions; we'd be happy to help, if we can!

Hi @georgianadiaz Thank you for the kind compliment; I appreciate it and I'm glad to know my videos have been helpful for you. In regards to securing your dual citizenship through your Mexican father, while the Registro Civil offices in Mexico have more leniencies in what they can allow for, they will all still require an official Mexican ID for your Father when you go to Register your birth. You will need either his Mexican Passport, his Mexican INE card, or a Matricular Consular ID for him, if he has one. They understandably have to be strict with adherence to this rule, due to the prevalence and potential for fraud [especially with so many duplicate names in Mexico]. I hope that answers your question. Feel free to reach out with any other questions you may have.

On the flip side, the people I have actually met are helpful. My issue is that my father used his mother’s second last name (a name from Great Britain) when he was first in the US (and overstayed his visa - this was in the 1940’s). So that has caused me all sorts of problems. I’m trying again next week.

Hi Christian! It depends on where you choose to register your birth. If you go to a Registro Civil office in Mexico, they can have a lot more flexibility in what they can allow for. On the other hand, if you register your birth at a Mexican Consulate office abroad, they may require it. The beauty and the curse with consulates is that every office is different, so my best piece of advice would be to reach out to which ever office your appointment will be held at and see if it is a necessity in your case.

As far as the application goes, the more information you have, the better, so I would still put down the names of your grandparents even if they have passed, if you know them. & You should fill out your parents' names exactly as they appear on your birth certificate [& their birth certificate, if you are using that to obtain your citizenship] The consulates can be pretty picky when it comes to the spelling of names, for some odd reason. I hope that helps! Feel free to reach out with more questions, if you have them.

She does have a passport, but it's from the U.S. She used to have a matriculation card, but it expired many years back. Will she need to re-apply for a new matriculation card, since she only has a Mexican birth certificate with no Mexican passport? Also, her full name on her Mexican birth certificate, which is a total of 4 names, is not the same as her name that was printed on my birth certificate (there is one part of the last name missing). Will that require a name change or accepted since 3 out of 4 names is correct?

Hey! All great questions. Hopefully my response will prove helpful. If you desire to complete the process at a Consulate and her father can’t attend the appointment for whatever reason, a special power of attorney may be necessary in which her father grants her permission to attain her Mexican Citizenship. My advise would be to reach out to the Consulate Office of your wife’s Registro Civil appointment and ask what they can accept in this case. Each consulate may be different. Another option is for your wife to complete the registration of her birth in Mexico at a Registro Civil office here, as they have a lot more flexibility in what they can allow for. (Foreign official documents will need to be apostilled & translated prior, however…and everything is in Spanish) No Spanish test is involved for her to get Citizenship though. And to answer your next question, yes! Once she gets her Citizenship, you and your children can then be linked to her to get your Residency or Citizenship if you so desire. You would need to take a test after 2 years of Residency for Citizenship, but potentially no test for your children if they want to jump straight to Citizenship through their mom’s. It can all sound so complicated, I know. Hopefully I was able to answer your main concerns. My husband and I are working on getting personal consultations set up for our viewers. We love answering your questions and try to be as helpful as possible.

So I plan to register at the registro civil in Mexico using USA passport as ID and it has my husband’s last instead of my madien name. Do you think I am going to need my marriage certificate apostille and translated by a perito?

Hi @MsAri1989 Yes! Just to be on the safe side, I would absolutely get your marriage certificate/license apostilled and translated along with your U.S. Birth Certificate, if you can. Mexico tends to be extremely picky with names matching up exactly on all paperwork. Your U.S. marriage paperwork may be all you need to contest the discrepancy in their sight. I hope this helps!

Hi @moegham3863 Being married to a Mexican Citizen, you can more easily obtain temporary and/or permanent residency in Mexico. You also qualify for a fast-tracked route to Mexican Citizenship after 2 years of residency, but you will still have to take a Citizenship exam. It's not automatic, sadly. I hope that helps! 😊👍🏽

Hey Natalia. It depends on your consulate; I would bring it just in case, if you have it. If you do attend a consulate appointment though (depending on what your office allows for), your Father will have to be present as well for the appointment. It may be easier for you to register your birth in Mexico with just your mom's info. That way you won't need any certificates except your foreign (apostilled) birth certificate and her Mexican birth certificate. I hope that helps!

It means that a particular document has to be "apostilled," or certified [typically with some form of a seal] by the issuing state/country for use of the document in another country. It authenticates the signatures of the public officials on a given document. For example; if you were born in the state of Michigan, USA and you were looking to get residency in Mexico; in order for your Michigan state-issued birth certificate to be accepted in Mexico, you would need to go through your secretary of state's website to get it apostilled (or certified) with specified use in Mexico. I hope that helps! I touch a little on the subject in the video linked below: kzitem.info/news/bejne/uH-O2YCFn6ZjnoY

Hi @CoachAugie it depends on the location you choose to register your birth. If you go to a Mexican Consulate abroad, some may not require local official documents to be apostilled (while others will). And if you go to Mexico, the only birth certificate that will need to be apostilled is the person being registered; because presumably at least one parent already has a Mexican birth certificate. I hope that’s helpful! (P.S. You will not need to apostille the copies; nor acquire more than one of the same apostilled document) 😊

Hi @1738remyboyz I hope you were able to get your birth certificate fixed. Sorry you didn't have the greatest first experience at the Consulate, I know they can be a little particular with their requirements. If you don't have a father listed on your birth certificate, you shouldn't have a problem completing the process with just your mom present and her ID. In addition to that, your birth certificate and valid driver's license should be sufficient. Each consulate does have the power to create and enforce their own rules, however; so it's worth checking with the particular consulate of your scheduled appointment to be sure. I hope that helps! If your appointment doesn't turn out to be successful next week, you may have better success in Mexico at a Registro Civil office. Your mother wont need to be present, all you will need is her info/documentation and yours. I do talk about that route often on the channel, but if you want more personalized assistance; I do offer consultation services and immigration assistance on my website: MixedinMexico.com I would be happy to help!

Hi @Supafun91 What you actually end up needing may vary drastically depending on where you complete your birth registration. Consulates tend to be a little more rigid in what they require and may need your father present.

My advice would be to either try to contact the office of your choice ahead of time and see what they require or just be over-prepared for either case. Consistencies can be hard to establish with official Mexican processes; frustrating though that may be. I hope that helps!

Hey Dayanna. Thanks for watching the video & leaving a comment. In response to your question: Yes. The best/easiest option would be to bring in a copy of their marriage certificate to prove that they were in fact married (if it was at least 6 months before the birth of the child/applicant). If the applicant or the parents don’t have access to it anymore, it should still be filed with the state/county of their marriage and should be able to be requested for a fee. BUT If you cannot get a copy of their marriage certificate: Bring both parents birth certificates to the appointment and 1. You will need to have your Father in person at the appointment. 2. If he cannot be in person, acquire a “poder especial” from your father, which is a special power of attorney recognized by the Mexican government, in which he recognizes paternity and gives consent to allow you to acquire Mexican Citizenship. 3. If you cannot get your father in person or a power of attorney (Poder Especial) from him. Then you may need to proceed with the process at a Registro Civil in Mexico, opposed to at a Consulate Office abroad. It may prove advantageous though to try and contact the Consulate Office of your appointment and see what they suggest, because what each Consulate may allow/require can vary. I hope this helps! Thanks again for the question!

Hi @LoudActsofkindness That is a good question, with a complicated answer. The U.S. ....easy-yes, without a doubt. If you make over $400USD, you generally have to file taxes in the US. Even if you make foreign income, your worldwide income is subject to U.S. taxes. For Mexico, though... It depends. If you make any income (earned pesos) in Mexico, you will need to pay taxes to Mexico. That tax will then generally be a deductible on your US taxes, since you will still have to file your taxes in the states as well. I hope that helps/makes sense.

I have been trying to figure out how to set up my appointment but have been unable to find out some information regarding the parental documentation prior to setting the appt up. My mother was born in Nay. MX and has her birth certificate, however my birth father has never been involved and my mom has since remarried (resulting in a surname change as well, different than the one on my birth certificate). I don't have any hope of getting in contact with my birth father for his documentation and I'm hoping that this won't impede my ability to obtain dual-citizenship. Would proof of divorce be sufficient? My step-dad and mom have separated in 2015 and I have lost contact with him as well so I'm hoping that the fact she remarried wouldn't require him to be involved in lieu of my birth father. Sorry, I know this is very particular and specific, just hoping the information is out there somewhere and someone might be familiar with it since I have been unable to find any answers for a few years now.

Since your father is deceased, you'd have to bring his death certificate along with his birth certificate (according to my understanding). Double check your consulate's requirements.

Hi! All great questions. To be honest, it all depends on where she decides to register her birth; either at a Mexican Consulate abroad or at a Registro Civil Office here in Mexico. The Consulates tend to be a little more strict/rigid in their requirements whereas the Registro Civil Offices can be a lot more flexible in what they can allow for. For my husband, at the Registro Civil Office, all they asked for was his father's Mexican Birth certificate and made sure it matched exactly up to the name on his [apostilled & translated] U.S. Birth Certificate. They didn't ask for any of his mother's documentation at all [even though she too was born in Mexico]; nor did they request his parents' marriage license, and they didn't even require his Father to be present at the appointment. If you want more info on that story check out this video we did: kzitem.info/news/bejne/xaeF1Hx4qJdzeag But the reason I bring that up is simply to show the array of differences in requirements with each office. If your mom has time and access to your grandparents' marriage & divorce certificate as well as to your grandma's death certificate, it wouldn't hurt to be over prepared and get those documents apostilled & translated. If not, her best option may be to reach out to her preferred Registro Civil Office in Mexico and see what they can allow for in her situation. I hope that helps!
