FAQ

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.

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 U.S. birth certificate
• Your passport or valid ID
• Your Mexican parent’s birth certificate
• Your marriage certificate, if you use your spouse’s legal last name

This is all we need to review whether you are a good candidate. You can contact us by phone, chat, or email us at contact@dnexpress.org

Passport is preferred, but you can also send a 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.Also, if you do not speak to your Mexican parent, we can often obtain your Mexican citizenship without bothering them. Remember that this is your constitutional right to obtain your Mexican citizenship, not theirs.In these cases, we can usually help in one of two ways:

1. We can try to help you contact a relative of your parent who may be able to provide your parent’s birth certificate or information so we can find the record for you.
2. If you have enough information about your parent, we can look for their record in Mexico.

If this does not work or does not apply to your specific case, please contact us. There may be other ways we can help you. Cheer up!

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.
