Mexican Citizenship by Descent | Passport by Parents or Grandparents

Mexican Citizenship by Descent: Reclaim Your Heritage and Your Rights

Your roots open the doors to Mexico. We obtain your citizenship through parents or grandparents with professional, agile, and stress-free legal support.

If you were born abroad but your parents or grandparents are Mexican, you have a constitutional right to be recognized as a Mexican citizen. This is more than just a document; it is the freedom to live, work, and own land in Mexico without the restrictions placed on foreigners.

We know that tracking down old birth certificates or understanding the requirements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) or the Civil Registry can be overwhelming, especially if you live abroad. At J.L. Immigration Services, immigration specialists since 2012, we take care of connecting the legal dots of your family history so you can simply enjoy the benefits of your new nationality.

How We Help You Reclaim Your Mexican Identity

The process of citizenship by “Right of Blood” (Ius Sanguinis) requires a perfect chain of documentation. We eliminate the chaos:

Remote File Assembly: If you are in the USA, Canada, or Cuba, you don’t need to travel to start. We review your documents and tell you exactly what is needed so the Mexican authorities accept your application on the first try.
Document Search & Retrieval: Missing your grandfather’s birth certificate? We guide you in locating and obtaining the official Mexican documents required for the process.
Personalized Bilingual Advice: We explain the benefits of dual nationality in your language. We understand the laws of both countries and provide the peace of mind that your process is 100% legal and secure.
Direct Accompaniment: We lead you by the hand during appointments at the SRE or Civil Registry in Cancun, ensuring professional treatment and an efficient process.

Why Choose J.L. Immigration Services?

Specialists Since 2012: Over a decade of experience resolving the most complex nationality cases.
Experts in “Generational Links”: We know how to legally prove kinship before Mexican law, even when there are spelling errors or inconsistencies in old certificates.
Your Ally in Cancun: While you are abroad, we are your eyes and hands at government offices in Mexico.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get citizenship if only my grandparents are Mexican?

Yes! The Mexican Constitution allows citizenship to be passed down through generations. The process varies slightly depending on whether your parents also claimed their nationality, but we design the strategy for you to obtain legal recognition.

Will I lose my current citizenship (USA or Canada) by becoming Mexican?

No. Mexico and most countries allow dual nationality. You will remain a citizen of your home country but with all the benefits of a Mexican citizen while in Mexico.

What are the benefits of being Mexican by descent?

Unlike residency, citizenship is forever. You can buy coastal property without a bank trust (fideicomiso), vote, work without special permits, and enter/exit the country as a local with no time limits.

How long does the process take?

Depending on the specific office and the documents available, the process can take from a few weeks to a couple of months. Our remote management speeds up the process by avoiding errors in the initial submission.

Todos los consejos siempre han sido súper acertados, desde apoyarnos con los documentos, asesorarnos en todo el proceso y acompañarnos en cada paso. Su atención es excelente, y su amabilidad y profesionalismo son buenísimos. Vale la pena una y mil veces colaborar con ellos y nosotros (así como otros familiares) seguiremos colaborando con ellos ❤️
