We are passionate about making this process as easy as possible for our clients. These are the questions we are asked most often — about eligibility, documents, timelines and how we work.
If you were born in the U.S. but also have a Mexican birth certificate showing you were born in Mexico, this is not a standard dual citizenship case. This may create a dual identity conflict, because the records show two different places of birth.
In this situation, you may need to correct or legally resolve the Mexican birth record before moving forward with your Mexican citizenship process. Every case is different, so please contact us at contact@dnexpress.org so we can review your documents and provide a quote for your specific process.
Absolutely. Mexican law recognizes families formed by same-sex couples, and same-sex spouses can have the same pathways to residency, permanent residence, and citizenship as opposite-sex couples, depending on the facts of the case.
We proudly support LGBTQ+ families while providing high-quality, personalized service.
The most common path is through Mexican parents. If at least one of your parents was born in Mexico, you may qualify for Mexican citizenship by descent.
Children may also apply after their parent qualifies and obtains Mexican citizenship. If the claim is through a Mexican grandparent, the parent in the middle generally needs to complete their Mexican citizenship process first before the child or grandchild can proceed. It is a chain process in that last case.
Some people may also qualify through marriage or naturalization, but those processes can involve residency, additional requirements, and different timelines.
Easy, please send us a picture or scan of: Your US birth certificate, your Passport*, and your Parent’s Mexican Birth Certificate(s). If you utilize your Spouse’s legal name please send us your Marriage Certificate as well. This is all we need to tell you if you are the perfect candidate. You can always contact us by phone, chat, or email us at contact@dnexpress.org.
** Passport is preferred but you can also send DMV ID, Military ID, or Passport Card **
We have helped people in this situation before. All we need is your parent’s Mexican Birth Certificate. First of all, if they have passed away, we express our condolences. Remember that we can help you even if they have passed away, guaranteed!
Also, if you do not speak to your Mexican parent, we can obtain your Mexican citizenship without bothering him. Remember that is your Constitutional Right to obtain your Mexican citizenship, not his/hers. So in these cases what we have done is (1) try to help you contact a relative of your parent which can provide your parents birth certificate or information so we can find the record for you. (2) If you have sufficient information about your parent, we can look for his record in Mexico. If this does not work nor apply to your specific case, please contact us, there are other ways we can help you. Cheer up!
Traveling can be difficult and time-consuming. That’s why we offer remote options for many parts of the process.

In most dual citizenship-by-descent cases, no. Obtaining Mexican citizenship through your Mexican parent generally does not require you to give up your U.S. citizenship.
The United States allows its citizens to have another nationality, and Mexico also recognizes dual nationality. This can be very beneficial because it allows you to enjoy rights and benefits in both countries.
Important note: If your case is not citizenship by descent and instead involves naturalization, the rules and requirements may be different. Please contact us so we can review your specific situation before you proceed.
Timelines vary by case. Once your documents are complete and your case is reviewed, the process may take as little as around 6 weeks in straightforward cases. More complex cases, especially those involving corrections, missing records, mismatched names, or incomplete information, can take longer.
