FAQs
Will I lose my U.S. Citizenship if I become a Mexican Citizen?
1
Absolutely not. The United States does not require you to choose one nationality over the other. You will legally hold two passports and enjoy the benefits of both countries.
Do I need to pay taxes in Mexico?
2
Generally, no. Mexican taxation is based on residency, not citizenship. If you do not live or earn money in Mexico, you typically do not file taxes there. (Disclaimer: We are not tax pros, please consult an accountant).
My name is spelled differently on my birth certificate than on my ID. Is that a problem?
3
Yes, this is the #1 reason for rejection. Even a missing middle name or "Maria" vs "Ma." can cause a denial. We offer a Document Audit service to catch these errors before you go to your appointment.
Do I need an Apostille?
4
If you process your citizenship at a Consulate in the U.S., you usually do not need an apostille on your U.S. birth certificate. However, if you process it within Mexico (Civil Registry), you always need an apostille and a certified translation. We help you determine which path is right for you.
