Dual nationality-U.S. & MexicoHey all. So, for a while now I've been wanting to get a dual nationality; I am an American citizen and want to receive Mexican nationality. A couple of years ago I heard a rumor that the requirements for dual nationality for Mexico had changed, allowing any child born abroad to Mexican parents to simply complete the application at the Mexican consulate, present documents proving U.S. citizenship, and fork over 12 bucks to receive Mexican nationality. I looked this up online and found that this was backed up by a number of websites; however, none of these are government websites. I also came upon another website that mentioned that in addition to providing documents, an applicant has to provide proof of 3 years of residence in Mexico. Upon further digging, I found that the website for my local Mexican consulate does not even mention dual nationality and that the website for the U.S. Department of State only has ominous warnings to applicants for dual nationality and no actual list of the requirements. Before I put in a very frustrating call to the Mexican consulate and spend a ridiculous amount of time humming to the "hold" music, is there anyone here who can clear this up for me? I'd really appreciate it, ladies. Have a good one.

don't know if this'll help, but...
To be serious I have no idea how it works down there. BUT what I can tell you is that I was born in Canada to Finnish parents and I now hold dual citizenship in Canada and Finland. In order to attain my Finnish citizenship I simply had to write a letter to the consolate in Finland explaining about my parents and stating my intent... I also had to include my birthdate and place of birth. Oh, and I should note that I have never resided in Finland...
For me it really didn't seem like I had to do that much. I'd imagine the process you'll have to go through is similar... however I don't think I've been much help, lol. Unfortunately I think you may have to bite the bullet and make that call. Best of luck! :)

Mexican citizenship
According to the Mexican Embassy in Canada (where dual citizenship is allowed, just like the U.S.), you need to register your birth with your nearest Mexican embassy or consulate.
