Our team of immigration experts helps foreign nationals from all over the world understand and navigate the Mexican naturalization process, ensuring a smooth and successful application.

What Is Mexican Naturalization?

Mexican naturalization is the legal process through which a foreigner obtains Mexican citizenship, gaining full rights and responsibilities in Mexico. This includes the right to vote, access to government programs, stop paying a trust and place a property in your name and the ability to hold a Mexican passport.

Whether you aim for dual citizenship or plan to fully integrate into Mexican society, naturalization provides you and your family with greater security and opportunities.

Who Can Apply for Mexican Citizenship?

You may be eligible to apply for Mexican citizenship if you:

• Have held permanent residency in Mexico for the required number of years.
• Are married to a Mexican citizen and meet the residency requirements.
• Are the descendant of Mexican nationals by birth.
• Have contributed significantly to Mexican culture, science, technology, arts, or sports.
• Descendants of Mexicans by birth. If this applies to you, we suggest reading: Can you have dual Mexican and American citizenship?

If you are still in the process of obtaining permanent residency, we can also assist you in meeting all legal requirements to start your path toward citizenship.
