What is the process for dual citizenship in Mexico if someone was born in the U.S. in the 80's?

Question

This is for someone born to Mexican-born parents and this would take place after the 2003 expiration of the Loss of Nationality Law.

Answer 1

On the contrary to Gypsy Girl, the US does allow dual citizenship.  If the person was born in the US, he already has US citizenship.  He needs to apply for Mexican citizenship (provided that Mexico allows it), and if approved he will be all set.  But Mexico may not grant citizenship unless he is living there.

Answer 2

The Mexican Law of No Loss of Nationality, which went into effect in 1998, makes the procedure quite simple. Until at least 2003, the application can be made at the Mexican Consulate having jurisdiction over wherever it is that you live.

Mexico now does allow dual citizenship, it used to not ;

you would have to either prove your ties your Mexico, such as a parent ,to establish your rights to mexican citizenship;

you must contact the nearest Mexico consulat in your area, with your birth certificate , the one that you are claiming your ties to Mexico, and their birth certificate as well (original) and get in touch with the consulat ,

Mexico: Dual Nationality, Migration, Twin Cities

Migration News Vol. 5 No. 2, April 1998

Print-Friendly Version    

Dual Nationality. Beginning March 20, 1998, Mexicans in the US could acquire or re-acquire rights as Mexican nationals under Mexico's new dual nationality law. Their children born outside of Mexico are also eligible for Mexican nationality.

It is not clear how many of the two million Mexican-born US residents who have become US citizens--and thus lost their Mexican nationality under the old law--will seek to become dual Mexican and US nationals. Under the new Mexican Nationality Act, those who lost their Mexican citizenship when they became naturalized US citizens have five years (until 2003) to re-acquire Mexican nationality

it is not the year of your birth that matters , it is the date NOW that you will apply that matters.

Answer 3

The US does not recognize dual citizenship.  If you become a citizen of another country, you lose your US citizenship.
