Mexican Citizenship?

[robertg]

Yea, I am not looking to become a citizen (yet). All my talks about moving to Mexico has stirred up everyone thinking about going to Mexico.

You mean all your friends in Belize? Are their motivations for wanting to move to Mexico similar to yours?

Yea frm Belize, well, just two friends but the probability of them moving is slim to none. (well no time soon) Only one would have similar motivations since he works online with my partner.

If you do decided to make the move to Mexico, at least you'll be coming with your partner. Good luck with your plans.

Thnx Verde. I am so excited about the move. I have been considering where to relocate for about a year now and decided Mexico would be the best place since Mexico and Belize have good relations so it would be an easier move. (I'm assuming)

Lesson 1 given with love.

Never take anything out of context -- meaning that you need to read the context.

Please read the entire post to see why the death certificate was suggested.

I could tell you why but that would be spoiling the fun.

Indeed, but at that point in the discussion no one had mentioned documentation. I'd read the entire thread, but I was just commenting on the suggestion being a little 'sparse', and a tiny bit humorous to read.

You can go to the registro civil and request a copy of your birth certificate. It states all the proof you need. If you are catholic and were baptized in MX you can get a certificate from the Catholic Church as well. Bring copy of the relative's death certificate and you are set. It is always a good idea to notarize your documents as many institutions request these documents to be notarized. They don't always have to be but in this case, it may save time.

Basically, from the research that ensued from this discussion, you can claim citizenship to mexico if one or both parents are mexican(s). Which is ofcourse is very obvious. Now here is the kicker; what if the Mexican parent is deceased?

The procedure from what I read online, you basically take the Mexican parent in as proof that she is a citizen and there is paper work that gets done and voila! You are now a Mexican citizen. So what if it is only one parent that is a Mexican citizen, and he/she is deceased? Hmmmm...something I thought could be discussed.

A good friend who was actually born in the US to Mexican parents is going through the process right now. You do need a copy of the official Mexican birth certificate and your own birth certificate with your parent's name exactly as it appears on their birth certificate. All data on both birth certificates has to match exactly otherwise you may been in for a long drawn out expensive process that may fail.
