How to Get Mexican Dual Citizenship in Chicago From Home
Looking for information on how to get Mexican dual citizenship in Chicago, IL, without waiting in consulate lines? If you are one of the thousands of Mexican Americans living in Chicago, IL, you have the right to Mexican dual citizenship under Article 30 of the Mexican Constitution.
Mexican nationality is a right guaranteed by the Mexican Constitution. If you are of Mexican parents, many Chicago residents have never acquired it because of the confusing and extensive traditional path through Mexican and American authorities.
Today, our DNExpress team will explain everything you need to know: who qualifies, how the process works, the requirements, and why you should start now.
DNExpress helps you to become a Mexican national in just 6 weeks, 100% online, from home. No office visits.
Who Qualifies for Mexican Dual Citizenship in Chicago?
Many Mexican Americans don't know if they qualify for Mexican dual citizenship, and even a lot of them think they don't qualify because the consulate rejected their application for reasons such as name misspellings or incomplete data in birth certificates.
Eligibility is simple to understand. You may qualify if:
- You were born in Chicago or any other city in the United States.
- At least one of your parents is Mexican by birth.
- You have Mexican grandparents (possible if your parents get registered first).
- You are a Mexican American with misspelled or missing names.
Under the law of Mexico, you have the right to Mexican nationality by birth; it's crucial to know that it can't be revoked, and a consulate rejection does not affect your right to claim it.
The Chicago Consulate Problem
Getting Mexican dual citizenship in Chicago through the Mexican consulate is hard. These are 3 top issues that we often handle on DNExpress:
1) Long appointment wait: The Chicago consulate can take weeks or even months to confirm an appointment; there are no delays with us.
2) In-person visits required: You need in-person visits to the consulate to submit your documents for a Mexican dual citizenship application, and a second visit to make corrections if there are discrepancies.
Each visit you make means time investing, missing work, and, in many cases, stress.
3) High rejection risk: If your US birth certificate says “Fernie” and your parents' name in the Mexican birth certificate is “Fernando”, your application might get rejected.
Many families in Chicago give up after the first rejection; that's why they come to us to acquire dual citizenship from home.
The Process to get Mexican Dual Citizenship in Chicago Online
DNExpress handles the full Mexican dual citizenship process, from start to finish. We take care of all the paperwork. Here's how it works for Chicago residents:
Step 1. Free case review:
Submit clear pictures or scans of your US birth certificate and Mexican parents' birth certificates, along with a valid ID of yours (can be a passport or a driver's license).
Once we receive your whole documentation, DNExpress attorneys review it to check for any misspellings or errors that can affect your process.
You can submit your documents to our email address: contact@dnexpress.org
Step 2. Perfect case or non-perfect case:
Once our team reviews your documents, we will let you know how your case is going to be handled. We have two types: perfect and non-perfect.
A “Perfect case” is when everything matches when comparing the US birth certificate with the Mexican birth certificate(s); it's when all the data, names, dates, and places match perfectly.
On the other hand, a “non-perfect case” is when there are misspellings, missing dates, inverted names, Americanized names, or late registrations, all of which require extra legal steps.
The DNExpress team handles everything needed for “non-perfect cases”; we request corrections, digitizing old birth certificates, apostilles, and translations.
Step 3. Registration directly in Mexico:
Once your documents are corrected and validated for a correct and legal process, we register you at the Civil Registry channels.
We eliminate consulate delays, and your case moves forward, no matter if you live in Chicago or any other city in the United States.
Step 4. Receive your Mexican Citizenship Documents:
Once everything is approved, we deliver your official Mexican birth certificate, which is the document that shows that you are now a Mexican national. You will also receive your CURP (Clave Única de Registro de Población).
You will also receive guidance on your next steps to become a full Mexican citizen. Steps include obtaining a Mexican passport and the INE voting card, submitted by the Instituto Nacional Electoral (INE).
