A Complete Mexican Apostille Service for $220
For most customers, DNExpress handles the entire process.
You don’t need to already have a newly certified original in your hands, and you generally don’t need to travel to Mexico.
For the standard $220 per-document fee, DNExpress can typically:
1. Obtain a new certified copy of your Mexican record
2. Process the apostille in Mexico
3. Prepare the completed apostilled document for delivery
4. Ship the document to you
This applies to the majority of the cases we handle, particularly Mexican birth certificates, death certificates and marriage certificates.
Instead of sending us your only original certificate, you can normally provide us with a copy or photograph so we can identify the record.
We obtain a new certified copy in Mexico, apostille that new document, and send the completed document to you.
How Much Does a Mexican Apostille Cost?
$220 USD Per Document
The standard DNExpress price to apostille an eligible Mexican document is:
$220
This fee is per document being apostilled.
For most standard Civil Registry records, such as birth, death and marriage certificates, the $220 service includes obtaining a new certified copy of the record and completing the corresponding apostille process.
Example
1 Mexican birth certificate + apostille = $220
1 Mexican death certificate + apostille = $220
1 Mexican marriage certificate + apostille = $220
If you need multiple documents apostilled, contact DNExpress so we can review the complete order.
Special or Unusual Cases
Additional charges may apply in uncommon situations involving:
- Large quantities of documents
- Extensive or multi-page documents
- Unusual records
- Documents requiring additional procedures
- Complex government requirements
These are exceptions rather than the typical DNExpress apostille order.
If additional charges apply, DNExpress will review the request and inform you accordingly.
For Most Clients, We Obtain a New Certified Copy
This is an important difference between DNExpress and a basic document-handling service.
To apostille a document, the appropriate original or certified document generally needs to be presented for the apostille process.
But that does not necessarily mean you need to mail us the certificate currently sitting in your home.
For most Civil Registry cases, DNExpress can obtain a new certified copy directly in Mexico.
For example, if you need your Mexican birth certificate apostilled:
You send us a copy or photograph of your birth certificate.
DNExpress obtains a new certified copy in Mexico.
We have the new certified copy apostilled.
We send the apostilled document to you.
For most standard Civil Registry cases, this entire service is included in the $220 per-document price.
What Documents Can DNExpress Apostille?
Mexican Birth Certificates
One of our most common apostille services.
If you have a copy, photograph, scan or PDF of your Mexican birth certificate, send it to DNExpress.
For most standard cases, we obtain a new certified copy of your birth certificate in Mexico, complete the apostille process, and send the apostilled document to you.
Mexican Death Certificates
Mexican death certificates are frequently needed abroad for:
- Bank matters
- Probate and estates
- Inheritance
- Insurance
- Property matters
- Court proceedings
- Other legal procedures
For most standard cases, DNExpress obtains a new certified Mexican death certificate, has it apostilled, and sends the completed document to you.
Mexican Marriage Certificates
If you need to use a Mexican marriage certificate abroad, DNExpress can typically obtain a new certified copy and process the apostille.
Mexican marriage certificates may be required abroad for immigration, citizenship, family matters, legal proceedings, name-related matters and other official procedures.
Mexican Dual Citizenship and Nationality Documents
This is particularly useful for DNExpress citizenship clients.
For example, you may hire DNExpress to obtain your Mexican nationality and later need an apostilled Mexican record for another procedure abroad.
You may be:
- Applying for another citizenship
- Registering your status in another country
- Handling an immigration matter
- Getting married abroad
- Completing a legal procedure
- Presenting your Mexican record to a foreign government
DNExpress can help you determine which Mexican record needs to be apostilled and process the appropriate document.
What If My Document Is Unique?
Not every document can simply be purchased again from a Mexican Civil Registry.
For example, you may have:
- A university degree
- School diploma
- Academic document
- Court document
- Unique legal document
- Original document issued specifically to you
In these cases, DNExpress may need the actual document.
You would mail the required original or certified document to DNExpress.
We would then process the appropriate apostille and return the completed document to you.
DNExpress will review unique documents before processing to make sure the correct procedure applies.
Do I Need to Send My Original Birth Certificate?
Usually, No.
If you’re requesting an apostille for a standard Mexican Civil Registry record, such as a:
Birth Certificate
Death Certificate
or
Marriage Certificate
you can normally send DNExpress a copy, scan, photograph or PDF of the record.
We use the information to identify the correct record and, in most standard cases:
DNExpress purchases a new certified copy in Mexico.
We then apostille the newly obtained certified document.
This means you usually don’t have to risk mailing us the certificate you already have at home.
What If I Don’t Have Any Copy of the Record?
If you don’t have a copy, photograph, PDF or sufficient information to identify the Mexican record, DNExpress may first need to conduct a record search.
For example:
You Have a Copy
Send Copy → DNExpress Obtains New Certified Record → Apostille → Ship
You Don’t Have a Copy and the Record Must Be Located
Search → Locate Record → Obtain Certified Copy → Apostille → Ship
A separate search fee may apply when DNExpress must first locate an unidentified or missing record.
Approximate Processing Time
Approximately 2 Weeks
Most standard Mexican apostille orders have an estimated turnaround of approximately:
2 Weeks
The exact processing time can depend on the type of document, issuing authority and state or place of origin.
Approximate turnaround: 2 weeks. Processing time may vary depending on the document and place of origin.

If the original document is needed, you mail it to DNExpress.
We process the applicable apostille procedure and return the completed document to you.
Additional requirements or costs, if any, are communicated after review.
How It Works
Step 1 — Send Us a Copy of Your Document
Send a clear photograph, scan or PDF.
For unique documents, DNExpress will tell you if the physical document must be mailed to us.
Step 2 — We Review the Record
We identify the document, place of origin and appropriate apostille procedure.
Step 3 — We Obtain a New Certified Copy
For most standard Mexican Civil Registry records, DNExpress obtains a new certified copy in Mexico.
This is included in the standard $220 service.

Important: Confirm the Requirements of the Receiving Authority
An apostille is used to authenticate eligible public documents for international use in countries where the applicable apostille framework is recognized.
However, the organization receiving your document determines its own requirements.
Depending on the country and purpose, you may also need:
- A certified translation
- A recently issued certified copy
- A particular document format
- Additional supporting documents
- Other formalities
Before ordering, confirm exactly what the receiving bank, government, court, university, consulate, attorney or other institution requires.
