I called the consulate in San Diego, got an appointment within a week, purchased an updated birth certificate the same day ($15) and received my passport within an hour with the proper identification. The staff were extremely helpful, and accommodating. They were all bilingual and beyond helpful.
Did you call to make an appointment with the San Diego consulate because it was easier then trying to set up an appointment via the website? I have been trying to follow the steps seen on the video and the results aren't even close and are frustrating. My web pages look nothing like the once shown in the video.
I have a registro civil appointment coming up at the San Diego consulate in a few days. For that appointment, should the parent who is going to pass you the citizenship go with me as well? In this case my father?
@@johnsamano1936 the website must be different I’ve been trying to set an appointment for Austin Texas or even San Antonio and it does not show anything on Dual Citizenship when I called my local office they told me I had to schedule online
I followed all your instructions got an appointment for regristo civil with in a week an today I officially became a Mexican citizen 🎉 thank you tor this informative🤗 video!
Yay I’m so glad this helped! I believe the website has changed a bit since so I was worried this video would be outdated or no longer helpful. Congrats on your new citizenship!! 🇲🇽🎉🥳
Most people think of Mexican Spanish as being easy/basic but it is not. Mexican people use words I have never heard of and can be difficult to understand. If you look a the upper right hand corner of the screen you can translate the page to English. Thank you for this video, and your previous video! I too am interested in obtaining a Mexican citizenship and am lost at to what I need. My niece became a Mexican citizen about a month ago and does not seem too willing to help me out so to you TH-cam i have come. I too live in chicago so this makes it easier to follow and get my stuff in order! Thank You Thank You!!
I received my acta de nacimiento , doble nacionalidad, my Mexican passport last Friday at Mexican Consulate here in Chicago. The staff was very efficient and friendly. I’ll be get my INE card in the mail. I’m planning to be back in Mexico this October for 8 / 9 months and eventually if all goes well full time. Thanks for your help… 🇲🇽
@@robertgarza3493bc if you go to Mexico to do it you need it apostille and translated, they essentially do rhe translation at the consulates now, before you had to get it apostilled before going to the appointment
We highly recommend that you check for appointments daily! The consulate will not notify you of new appointment slots but check it daily is the way to go!
It took me 7 months to get an appointment in San Diego for citizenship! I almost flew to Sacramento to do it. The system needs an overhaul. I checked the website every darn day.
gosh, that's super annoying... and I heard they made updates to the website not to long ago, too... so, whatever changes they made they still aint it! 😑
Born & raised in Chicago, my father was born in Mexico and I wanted to get dual citizenship so this video couldn't have worked out any more perfect, thank you for all the help! You did all this at Adams and Ashland right?
I scheduled my appointment on the internet for at the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles. 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.
Multiple appointment?!..oh man. A family friend in Mexico said he'll do the whole process for me and hand me my Mex passport, birth certificate, and Curp. Is this a service many offer if so what should i expect to pay?
That’s great news! I want to learn more about what the process is like in Mexico. If you remember and don’t mind, could you come back and let me know how it went and what they ask you for? 😊🙏🏽
@@EatBailaTravel I went in Wednesday and came back from Mexico it’s very different my father passed away 4 years ago I got his death certificate in Mexico but I had to come back to California to get my birth certificate apostillado I’m going again back to Mexico in 3 weeks. I’ll keep you updated.
Thank you for sharing this. I've been thinking of getting my dual citizenship for a few years but just couldn't find good info on it. I googled videos on getting dual citizenship and your page was the first one that came up. :)
So I already Have my dual citizenship I was lucky my dad and mom did it for me when I was 13, but my question after that is what was needed for you to move down there? I've been thinking a ton of moving back to Mexico, My parents are From Juarez, but Im avoiding that place LOL. I know I will no longer have my truck, which is sad but a Black Chevy Silverado thats Lifted isnt a good Look in some parts of Mexico, how was buying or renting an apartment like?
Once you have dual citizenship you need your mexican passport and that is about it. You need your mexican passport in order to enter the country without any restrictions. From there depending what you want to do in terms of work, that we are still learning. Renting an apartment varies from state to state. It all depends where you'd like to go. In Yucatan they run ask for first and last months rent, a 3-6 month deposit and background check. Other places you can just call people directly and negotiate with them. and the most expensive option is airbnb but its also the easiest way to dip your feet in the water.
Hello. Since the Mexican birth certificate I will receive will show both my dad and moms last name, but in the USA (on my passport and license) I only have my dads last name as is customary here, will they still be able to process the passport application? Or how does it work once you are registered and receive your birth certificate? Thank you
Yes they’ll still be able to do it, no worries. They recognize the customs in the US birth certificates and take that into account during the process. Using your parents’ birth certificates, they’ll know which last names to put on your Mexican documents
Buenos días, Can you please clarify as I’m not sure about this. Did you schedule the appointment for the birth certificate and passport on the same day ? Or did you wait until you received the Mexican birth certificate and then schedule appointment for the passport ? TIA
Hi Robert! We schedule the birth certificate and passport a week apart. It takes up to 3 business days to get your birth certificate and you’ll need the birth certificate to get your passport.
If you’re lucky (like jenny) and you get the birth certificate the same day sometimes you’ll be get to get the passport right after your birth certificate. But the chances are slim.
@@EatBailaTravel Ok Thanks very much. Tomorrow morning I’ll schedule my birth certificate and passport one week apart. You have been very informative. Bonito día… 🇲🇽
I’m trying to schedule an appointment for Mexican citizenship. For my local consulate, they have two tramites available, the visa and the pasaporte, matricula consular, and INE.
I can see why you say that this process is not easy. I created an account yesterday and logged in just fine. There were no appointments near me, so I logged out. Today I tried to log in and check for appointments, and it won't let me log in. I can tell this is not going to be fun. Thanks for all the info tho.
I'm on my last step to be able to open a bank account. I just need to get my INE. Ugh, which I saw these tutorials before I did the process. Also if you intend to purchase a home, getting an RCF is needed. Although, getting the RCF is very easy and can be obtained through the government website.
@@EatBailaTravel Actually, it's really easy to get since you already have your Curp. Just go to this website www.sat.gob.mx/tramites/28753/obten-tu-rfc-con-la-clave-unica-de-registro-de-poblacion-curp then go to Tramites del RFC which is right in the top middle of the page. From there just pick Obten tu RFC con la clave de registro. You just need to enter your curp and a permanent address in the country. Once you do all that you get an RFC immediately. It'll be just like your curp but with less digits and it end with a different set of numbers.
Depends on the availability at the consulate, but I do remember seeing the options for appointments 15 apart, so I’d recommend scheduling them that way!
Sorry to bug but I don't know if anyone else can answer this...My father passed away and I don't have access to his papers he was american.. how do I get a copy of his ID card and do I need one since I have one of his death certificate?
Hello, My question is about the requirement of getting a translation and apostille of American birth certificate to present at appt for Registro Civil. Any suggestion or advice on how to get that accomplished. (assuming that is a requirement). Thank you
if you're doing this in the US, a translation to English isn't required. For the apostille, you can do that in person at a local government office (county clerk's office, for example) or by mail as well in some places. I suggest Google searching "where to get a birth certificate apostille in (enter city or state)"
Hi there, thank you so much for the detailed information. I have a question hoping you can answer or guide me to the right direction. My father does not live in the United States and my mother is sick and unable to accompany me. Do you know if parents required to be present? I was able to get a certified birth certificate for both parents online but I am not sure if parents need to be present for me to go through with this.
I tried to create an acct to make an appt for the birth certificate but the screen showed different than what you were showing. Can you explain why this could be? I used the link you provided
Hi Marci, it looks like they’ve updated the website! If there are any specific questions you have, feel free to message us via Instagram or email. We don’t officially represent the Mexican consulates or anything, but we’ve been able to help others figure it out 🙂
This is the first video I’ve watched from you guys so pardon if this question sounds silly. But this is what I will need to do to become a dual citizen of US/Mexico correct?
Not silly at all great question. This video is made those who born in USA with parents were born in Mexico and would like to obtain to their Mexican citizenship.
@@EatBailaTravel thank you so much. Both my parents were born in Mexico. So will this mean I will just have have to pay the fee to become a Mexican citizen, and not have to take a test to become one.
@@EatBailaTravel i have a question what if my parent is american and tthe other parent is mexican can I still apply for dual citizenship at registro civil?
Hello! Is there any other fees associated with the appointment, I read that it says the procedure is completely free, and the only thing we would need to pay for is the extra copy of the birth certificate?
I made an appointment for visa without permission inm and then I put permanent residency and then naturalization I think it was was that correct? My parents where born in Mexico but I was born in the USA and I’m looking to get my dual citizenship plZ ty ! Can I go just to ask questions first bcuz I want to know if i can do it without my dad since we have an estranged relationship
When arriving to the consulate ask to meet with the representatives of the registro civil. Once they send you registro civil desk just ask them to check your paperwork.
I am trying to get dual nationality thru heritage as my grandparents were born in Mexico. So my question is, do i go thru same exact process as you describe ? I have all my documents and my parents documents showing they were born to Mexican born citizens. Do i need to find my Grandparents birth certificates in Mexico ? If so, wont they be able to find them ?
the law changed in May 2021 (after this video was posted) and generational limits were removed from being able to get citizenship through heritage. It doesn't look like requirements have changed so I believe you'll simply need your grandparents' documents (in addition to your parents to trace the lineage all the way to you, of course) so their birth certificate and ID's. And the Mexican Consulate should be able to issue you their birth certificates (bring your parent's birth certificate when asking for your grandparents') but I'm not sure if that's a quick transaction or not so I would try to make an appointment for that
We highly recommend you check the website every single day in the morning and at night for you to check new appointments. The Mexican consulate doesn’t provide dates on when they update their appointments so our best bet is to check every day until you get your appointment. It sounds like a lot but within 5-7 days you’ll be able to get an appointment.
Hi Guys ! Happy Holidays! I made an appointment by mistake for passport, when I need a Registro Civil appointment. Now I don't know how to change or make a new appointment for Registro Civil!! help !!!
Unfortunately you can’t change it but try to make a registro civil appointment three days before your passport so you can be done with the entire process. Calling is the best option for making the registro civil appointment. You’ll need to call daily to get one 1877 Mexitel
It shouldn’t be asking for one because you don’t have one yet. You receive your curp number the day you become a Mexican citizen. Add us on Instagram and send us screen shots and we’ll try to help
Are all the registrations the same for each state because I was able to make an appointment for the registro and passport but it didnt ask me about the tipo tramite detalle.
You know what actually I think the online appointment process may have updated recently! We need to look into it to update our video as well. Thanks for your comment!
Question about the registro civil process. My parents only use one last name on their legal documents here in the US. They married here and on my birth certificate the don't have the double last names like on their birth certificates. Do you know if this would be a problem?
I tried creating an account, but the site keeps telling me my email address is “invalid” and I don’t understand why. I’ve tried Hotmail, Gmail, and yahoo, none of which seem to work. If I hover over the help question mark, it says “some emails aren’t accepted,” but it doesn’t tell me why, or which ones are valid. Nor do I know who to reach out to for help. I’m so confused!!!
That is super weird. Try using a different browser. I know that seems unrelated to the issue but last time I had technical issues with the site I changed browsers and it worked. I hope it works for you!
We honestly do not know but this is the website for the Mexican consulado. consulmex.sre.gob.mx/chicago/ If the website isn’t helpful then you can call 877-639-4835 and you can speak to a representative directly that will help you with your situation. We hope this is helpful
I can not find how to make a registro civil appointment. It only gives 3 options and the are Fe public, Visas, Pasaporte, MatriculaConsular e INE. Is anyone able to assist? I have been attempting for weeks and it continues to say just them 3 options. thanks in advance!
I have some questions, me and my 3 other siblings are trying to get our dual citizenship from our parents. Do we have to make separate accounts and separate appointments or can we do it all together? Also I’m a minor so do we make the account under my parents name or mine?
To our understanding, Yes you will need to make separate appointments and account. We recommend calling every single day to make your appointment and perhaps you can get three in a row for a day.
Mine looks different than yours. When I try to make an appointment I only have the option to make an appointment for my passport. In the end, when I look at my booked appointment it states it as "Pasaporte, Matrícula Consular e INE".
If It doesn’t give an option for registro civil that means that there aren’t any appointments for the registró wherever you’re trying to make the appointment. Our recommendation is that you check daily, even twice a day, to see if appointments open up or call daily for a week until you can get an appointment. Appointments open up randomly and and at any given time.
@@2PacStoleMyBike unfortunately no. You need your registró first that way they give you your citizenship to get your passport. Our advice would be to try getting an appointment three days before passport one to be able to get both done. And we highly advice calling every single day in the morning. Sounds crazy but only this way will you be able to get an appointment. (877)Mexitel
Our third and final video of the series will have that information. We hope to post it in a couple of hours. We will let you know thank you so much for asking
I tried it, but it is different now. I made an appointment but not for registro civil but there wasn't a drop down menu for that anymore. keep ya posted how it goes.
@@EatBailaTravel noooo when you go to schedule appointments and then you are asked to chose a location, and on the locations it shows what services they offer, and none offer civil registration, it’s ok tho because we are going to register my daughter in Mexico when we visit I heard it’s easier to just do it in Mexico
Im currently trying to get mine. My consulte said since only one of my dad's last names is on my birth certificate i would have to go to Mexico to complete the process and i would have to get my birth certificate apostille. Do you have anymore info?
That’s strange. We didn’t have to do that. It’s customary for a US birth certificate to only include one last name. Completing the process in Mexico is usually easier than in the US. It seems like they are stricter when the process is being done outside of Mexico. I don’t have more information on this, sorry.
Hello 👋 I have a question while my parents were creating an account they made mistake with the last names I was wondering if you know will that effect anything during the process of getting the passport?
We don’t think that it will affect your appointment but we honestly don’t know. I think the profile is only to book appointments the information you fill out for process is more important.
My brother is in the process of getting his as our mother was born in Mexico but they are telling him he needs to have a physical address in Mexico. Why is that?
🤔 really? Did they tell him this at a Mexican consulate in the US? I don’t recall them asking me for an address but I believe they asked me to choose a state to be registered in. I chose Zacatecas bc that’s where my family is from but I don’t think I gave a specific address
@@EatBailaTravel I don't think so. That's a good point, we have family in Sonora, maybe he can use their address. I'm not sure if they're asking for proof, I'll have to ask my brother.
Did you have to get an apostille for your birth certificate? I went through this process 20 years ago and failed $500 into it because Vicente Fox and George Bush were having a feud and Fox Closed citizenship to foreign born nationals. $500 went into translating my documents and getting apostilles. I was left so jaded because I was really young and $500 was a fortune to me. It sounds like maybe it was a scam. I’m going to try again and hope for the best this time! Thanks so much for these videos. I made an appointment! I’m not sure what I have will be accepted but it’s ok because at least I know it won’t cost much and I will know exactly what I need.
For our American Birth Certificate we did not have to get an apostille. We are very sorry you lost 500$ that so messed up but we hope this time around you are successful and able to complete your registro. Feel free to message us with any questions! Suerte!
Also can I do this procedure in the US with my moms papers ? My father recently died and I’ll take his acta de difuncion , but does my mother have to be present? Thank you
I’m sorry for your loss. I don’t think your mom has to be present, they usually care more for proof of paternity. The acta de defunción should be enough.
For me on the Trámites it only says - Visas, -Certificados, legalizaciones y visados or -Nacionalidad. So i choose nacionalidad and on the tipo de trámite it says certificado de Nacionalidad, declaración de nacionalidad, reposición de certificado de nacionalidad, and reposición de nacionalidad. that part is where it confuses me. and then next to tipo de trámite it says “sub tipo de trámite”. if you can please help me.
It doesn't work for me. I remembered the password and made sure i entered my email correctly. It said something about an update on June 1st. And apparently i have to make my account in the system again? What does that mean. I need help.
You know what actually I think the online appointment process may have updated recently! We need to look into it to update our video as well. Thanks for your comment!
*Ha ha ha ha you're so funny, you haven't seen the Canadian websites, you go in circles for at least twenty minutes or incomplete information or different information every time like "payments: credit card" in another page: "cash and debit", plus asking questions that they already asked few times BEFORE*

I was able to get a certified birth certificate for both parents online but I am not sure if parents need to be present for me to go through with this.
If your parents were married 6 or more months before you were born, it’s my understanding that they don’t need to be present at the appointment
I tried to create an acct to make an appt for the birth certificate but the screen showed different than what you were showing. Can you explain why this could be? I used the link you provided
Hi Marci, it looks like they’ve updated the website! If there are any specific questions you have, feel free to message us via Instagram or email. We don’t officially represent the Mexican consulates or anything, but we’ve been able to help others figure it out 🙂
This is the first video I’ve watched from you guys so pardon if this question sounds silly. But this is what I will need to do to become a dual citizen of US/Mexico correct?
Not silly at all great question. This video is made those who born in USA with parents were born in Mexico and would like to obtain to their Mexican citizenship.
@@EatBailaTravel thank you so much. Both my parents were born in Mexico. So will this mean I will just have have to pay the fee to become a Mexican citizen, and not have to take a test to become one.
Correct! No test required in your case. Good luck on the process!
@@EatBailaTravel i have a question what if my parent is american and tthe other parent is mexican can I still apply for dual citizenship at registro civil?
@@stanleywoodwardiii3194 yes you can! Having at least one parent born in Mexico still gets you the right to Mexican citizenship 🙂🇲🇽
Hello! Is there any other fees associated with the appointment, I read that it says the procedure is completely free, and the only thing we would need to pay for is the extra copy of the birth certificate?
That is correct!
@@EatBailaTravel thank you so much for your tips! You guys are awesome :)
I made an appointment for visa without permission inm and then I put permanent residency and then naturalization I think it was was that correct? My parents where born in Mexico but I was born in the USA and I’m looking to get my dual citizenship plZ ty ! Can I go just to ask questions first bcuz I want to know if i can do it without my dad since we have an estranged relationship
if you have the time, definitely stop by to ask questions prior to your appointment
This is only if you have all your paperwork ready right?
How would I go and have them check the information I have so I don’t make so many trips
When arriving to the consulate ask to meet with the representatives of the registro civil. Once they send you registro civil desk just ask them to check your paperwork.
I am trying to get dual nationality thru heritage as my grandparents were born in Mexico. So my question is, do i go thru same exact process as you describe ? I have all my documents and my parents documents showing they were born to Mexican born citizens. Do i need to find my Grandparents birth certificates in Mexico ? If so, wont they be able to find them ?
the law changed in May 2021 (after this video was posted) and generational limits were removed from being able to get citizenship through heritage. It doesn't look like requirements have changed so I believe you'll simply need your grandparents' documents (in addition to your parents to trace the lineage all the way to you, of course) so their birth certificate and ID's. And the Mexican Consulate should be able to issue you their birth certificates (bring your parent's birth certificate when asking for your grandparents') but I'm not sure if that's a quick transaction or not so I would try to make an appointment for that
Is there an application you can print out online for your passport or do you have to fill it out in the consulado?
They’ll hand it to you at the consulate when you arrive for your appointment
Thank you so much! 😊
There is no appointment on Monday :(.. when is good time make appointment online?
We highly recommend you check the website every single day in the morning and at night for you to check new appointments. The Mexican consulate doesn’t provide dates on when they update their appointments so our best bet is to check every day until you get your appointment. It sounds like a lot but within 5-7 days you’ll be able to get an appointment.
Have been trying to schedule an appointment in WA state for months and nothing available. Their officeces have zero openings.
yikes, I'm sorry to hear that 😳😐
Hello! Is this process free? For the registro civil. Both my parents were born in Mexico. I cannot find filing fees anywhere.
Yes it’s free 👍🏾
So you basically need to schedule a appointment for the registro civil before even thinking about getting my passport?
Correct. The registro civil appointment is where you register for the citizenship. You need to be a citizen before you can get a passport
Hi Guys ! Happy Holidays! I made an appointment by mistake for passport, when I need a Registro Civil appointment. Now I don't know how to change or make a new appointment for Registro Civil!! help !!!
Unfortunately you can’t change it but try to make a registro civil appointment three days before your passport so you can be done with the entire process. Calling is the best option for making the registro civil appointment. You’ll need to call daily to get one 1877 Mexitel
Please help, the Mexican embassy website is asking me for a CURP number before scheduling appointments, what is a CURP?
It shouldn’t be asking for one because you don’t have one yet. You receive your curp number the day you become a Mexican citizen. Add us on Instagram and send us screen shots and we’ll try to help
So these appointments are in mexico or in the state you live in?
State you live in 👍🏾
Are all the registrations the same for each state because I was able to make an appointment for the registro and passport but it didnt ask me about the tipo tramite detalle.
You know what actually I think the online appointment process may have updated recently! We need to look into it to update our video as well. Thanks for your comment!
Question about the registro civil process. My parents only use one last name on their legal documents here in the US. They married here and on my birth certificate the don't have the double last names like on their birth certificates. Do you know if this would be a problem?
No that should not be a problem as long as their first and last names match their first name and first last name from mexico.
@@EatBailaTravel Thank you. I will be going in Chicago. Do my parents need to be present for my appointment?
I tried creating an account, but the site keeps telling me my email address is “invalid” and I don’t understand why. I’ve tried Hotmail, Gmail, and yahoo, none of which seem to work. If I hover over the help question mark, it says “some emails aren’t accepted,” but it doesn’t tell me why, or which ones are valid. Nor do I know who to reach out to for help. I’m so confused!!!
That is super weird. Try using a different browser. I know that seems unrelated to the issue but last time I had technical issues with the site I changed browsers and it worked. I hope it works for you!
And I think it needs to be a Gmail address
If I was born in Mexico but only have a USA Passport, my mexico birth certificate, USA Certificate of Naturalization, what else would I need?
We honestly do not know but this is the website for the Mexican consulado.
consulmex.sre.gob.mx/chicago/
If the website isn’t helpful then you can call 877-639-4835 and you can speak to a representative directly that will help you with your situation. We hope this is helpful
I can not find how to make a registro civil appointment. It only gives 3 options and the are Fe public, Visas, Pasaporte, MatriculaConsular e INE. Is anyone able to assist? I have been attempting for weeks and it continues to say just them 3 options. thanks in advance!
I gave up almost. I tried for months ;)
Don’t give Gary. If you need help let us know how we can help. If it’s too tough in USA it might be easier in Mexico.
Hello for some reason it’s not letting me open the link to make an appointment
Ah, looks like they've changed the web address. Thanks for letting me know. I found it and updated it. Here it is citas.sre.gob.mx/
I have some questions, me and my 3 other siblings are trying to get our dual citizenship from our parents. Do we have to make separate accounts and separate appointments or can we do it all together? Also I’m a minor so do we make the account under my parents name or mine?
To our understanding, Yes you will need to make separate appointments and account. We recommend calling every single day to make your appointment and perhaps you can get three in a row for a day.
For what ever reason my yahoo and gmail account is not working on the first step on creating my account
Mine looks different than yours. When I try to make an appointment I only have the option to make an appointment for my passport. In the end, when I look at my booked appointment it states it as "Pasaporte, Matrícula Consular e INE".
Same it don’t give me another option
If It doesn’t give an option for registro civil that means that there aren’t any appointments for the registró wherever you’re trying to make the appointment. Our recommendation is that you check daily, even twice a day, to see if appointments open up or call daily for a week until you can get an appointment.
Appointments open up randomly and and at any given time.
@@EatBailaTravel thank you I will keep trying. i currently just have the passport scheduled, is it fine to go with that appointment first?
@@2PacStoleMyBike unfortunately no. You need your registró first that way they give you your citizenship to get your passport. Our advice would be to try getting an appointment three days before passport one to be able to get both done. And we highly advice calling every single day in the morning. Sounds crazy but only this way will you be able to get an appointment. (877)Mexitel
@@2PacStoleMyBike any update? I also only get the passport option
Can you please explain how much everything cost?
Our third and final video of the series will have that information. We hope to post it in a couple of hours. We will let you know thank you so much for asking
Do I need to make an appt in the US? Or can I make an appt in Mexico to start the process?
Those videos are specifically for USA
I tried it, but it is different now. I made an appointment but not for registro civil but there wasn't a drop down menu for that anymore. keep ya posted how it goes.
Oh 😯 what kind of appointment did you make?
same! it just says "Copias Certificadas de register civil". 😳😳@@EatBailaTravel
Imposible to find a an appointment to register your birth in California ): they just don’t offer that service here only passports
what, no way.. they must have no upcoming availability but they've got to offer the service.. 🤔
@@EatBailaTravel noooo when you go to schedule appointments and then you are asked to chose a location, and on the locations it shows what services they offer, and none offer civil registration, it’s ok tho because we are going to register my daughter in Mexico when we visit I heard it’s easier to just do it in Mexico
Im currently trying to get mine. My consulte said since only one of my dad's last names is on my birth certificate i would have to go to Mexico to complete the process and i would have to get my birth certificate apostille. Do you have anymore info?
That’s strange. We didn’t have to do that. It’s customary for a US birth certificate to only include one last name. Completing the process in Mexico is usually easier than in the US. It seems like they are stricter when the process is being done outside of Mexico. I don’t have more information on this, sorry.
Hello 👋 I have a question while my parents were creating an account they made mistake with the last names I was wondering if you know will that effect anything during the process of getting the passport?
We don’t think that it will affect your appointment but we honestly don’t know. I think the profile is only to book appointments the information you fill out for process is more important.
Is there a passport form that needs to be filled out prior to appointment?
no, all forms will be filled out at the appointment
My brother is in the process of getting his as our mother was born in Mexico but they are telling him he needs to have a physical address in Mexico. Why is that?
🤔 really? Did they tell him this at a Mexican consulate in the US? I don’t recall them asking me for an address but I believe they asked me to choose a state to be registered in. I chose Zacatecas bc that’s where my family is from but I don’t think I gave a specific address
@@EatBailaTravel yes it was at the Mexican consulate in the US.
@@zys1277 that’s odd, or maybe new. If you have family or someone you know I’d just use that address (they’re not asking for proof right?)
@@EatBailaTravel I believe they told him he needed to have a physical address for at least 6 months
@@EatBailaTravel I don't think so. That's a good point, we have family in Sonora, maybe he can use their address. I'm not sure if they're asking for proof, I'll have to ask my brother.
Thank you!!!!!!!
You’re welcome 🙂
They don’t have it like that anymore
Gotta update our video.
Do you happen to know if the process is the same if I am in Mexico?
The process is very similar. Same documents required, but the process of getting an appointment may be a little different
What Is to be provided in surname field of surname not present in passport?
You should be listing your name as follows: (given name) (father’s last name) (mother’s last name)
im stuck on step one on the website. it says it cant find information
hi, what are you searching for?
You brought me in from Mexico. They think im the INM rep. What's up?
wrong number
What happens is your mother doesn’t live with me and Is in another state ?
If neither of you can travel, perhaps you can try getting her documents mailed to you?
Did you have to get an apostille for your birth certificate? I went through this process 20 years ago and failed $500 into it because Vicente Fox and George Bush were having a feud and Fox Closed citizenship to foreign born nationals. $500 went into translating my documents and getting apostilles. I was left so jaded because I was really young and $500 was a fortune to me. It sounds like maybe it was a scam. I’m going to try again and hope for the best this time! Thanks so much for these videos. I made an appointment! I’m not sure what I have will be accepted but it’s ok because at least I know it won’t cost much and I will know exactly what I need.
For our American Birth Certificate we did not have to get an apostille. We are very sorry you lost 500$ that so messed up but we hope this time around you are successful and able to complete your registro. Feel free to message us with any questions! Suerte!
Mexitel website still work? Keep getting an error
I think they've made some updates, my video may no longer be relevant 😏 sorry!
What if only one of my parents is from Mexico and currently lives there
That’s fine. You can also do this process in Mexico at a registro civil office
@@EatBailaTravel do you know if I need to know Spanish fluently. I didn’t really get to learn it much growing up
Also can I do this procedure in the US with my moms papers ? My father recently died and I’ll take his acta de difuncion , but does my mother have to be present? Thank you
I’m sorry for your loss. I don’t think your mom has to be present, they usually care more for proof of paternity. The acta de defunción should be enough.
Hello, I have the same situation.Were you able to successfully obtain Mexican citizenship?
same boat here. were you successful?
For me on the Trámites it only says - Visas, -Certificados, legalizaciones y visados or -Nacionalidad. So i choose nacionalidad and on the tipo de trámite it says certificado de Nacionalidad, declaración de nacionalidad, reposición de certificado de nacionalidad, and reposición de nacionalidad. that part is where it confuses me. and then next to tipo de trámite it says “sub tipo de trámite”. if you can please help me.
Hmm let us look into it.
We’ll get back to you shortly
@@EatBailaTravel Thank you so much :)
It doesn't work for me. I remembered the password and made sure i entered my email correctly. It said something about an update on June 1st. And apparently i have to make my account in the system again? What does that mean. I need help.
You know what actually I think the online appointment process may have updated recently! We need to look into it to update our video as well. Thanks for your comment!
*Ha ha ha ha you're so funny, you haven't seen the Canadian websites, you go in circles for at least twenty minutes or incomplete information or different information every time like "payments: credit card" in another page: "cash and debit", plus asking questions that they already asked few times BEFORE*
Oh noooo that sounds awful hahahaha 😅
