THE POSITIVE ASPECTS OF THE NEW POSSIBILITY OF MEXICAN DUAL CITIZENSHIP THROUGH PARENTS

Recently, it was announced that dual citizenship is available to children of Mexican parents, regardless of whether they were born in another country; the news impacted the population and people of Mexican descent.

With the advent of this empowering new possibility, the interest of many who did not have access to Mexican citizenship has been ignited, fostering a deeper connection with their roots and cultural heritage. Undoubtedly, it will be a significant milestone for those who wish to claim their Mexican citizenship and fortify ties with the country of their ancestors.

Children of Mexican parents born abroad faced a problematic bureaucratic process to obtain citizenship through their parents, most of whom had to go through long naturalization processes.

With the change in the Mexican National Code of Procedure and Family, specifically in articles 314 and 1144, a new, more accessible reality begins to unfold. It was this change that brought about the possibility of acquiring dual citizenship through parents, offering a sense of relief to many.

With the reform of the articles above, new doors have opened; Article 314 of the National Code of Procedure and Family now provides for children of Mexican parents to have the right to obtain Mexican citizenship, while Article 1144 of the same Code provides for the process for acquiring dual Mexican citizenship, it specifies the requirements and procedures that must be followed to obtain Mexican citizenship, including the necessary documentation and deadlines.

It is worth mentioning that as a standard naturalization procedure, you must also present evidence of affiliation with Mexican parents and follow all the rules imposed by legislation.

Obtaining dual citizenship brings numerous benefits, such as access to public services, education, and work, in addition to restoring contact with one's culture.

It is worth noting that even with the simplification of the process, the responsibility of navigating the bureaucratic naturalization procedures will not be exempted. It is crucial to be supported by specialized professionals who can ensure all procedures are carried out correctly, providing a sense of security and guidance to the applicant.
