It's no secret that the ultimate goal of many young couples who come to Mexico to give birth to a child is — immigration through childbirth. Parents, siblings, and grandparents immediately become permanent residents in Mexico and can obtain a Mexican passport after 2 years. Childbirth in Mexico — one of the two fastest ways to acquire Mexican citizenship. It doesn't get any faster.
Many organize their births themselves, hire a translator and negotiate with doctors. But then they still face problems when registering the child and obtaining documentation. Difficulties and long periods of registration with the migration service («sits»), refusals to accept a birth certificate, impossibility of signing up for a Mexican passport for a child… As a result, the period for acquiring all documents is significantly extended, increasing the time before obtaining Mexican citizenship. Plus, every extra day in Mexico comes with other living expenses.
We offer our support in organizing the paperwork process for your baby and all family members. Visiting the migration service offices in Canun and Playa del Carmen every day, we meet different couples and know their problems. And we accompany them to solve them.
Receiving all documents after childbirth in Mexico, for the child and parents, takes us 1.5 — 2 months. The process contains the main stages and processes:
- registration of a newborn, at the registro civil office or at home (we register at home),
- purchasing a set of certificates and other papers for a newborn, including a birth certificate,
- apostille or legalization,
- registration of a Mexican passport for a child,
- translation of foreign birth certificates (if necessary);
- registration of permanent residence (permanent resident cards) by parents and other family members,
- support in obtaining citizenship and the child obtaining a parent’s citizenship passport through the consular department.
The last process is the longest, it takes about 1 month (if we talk about Russian citizenship for a child). As we said, the total period for processing all documents after childbirth in Mexico is up to two months, after which you are allowed to safely return to your homeland. We can significantly speed up this period, for example, organize the purchase of permanent resident cards by parents in 1-2 days. Usually the mother and child have just been discharged from the clinic, and we already have an action plan and prepared requests for all the next stages.
Price for services for preparing a package of documentation for a child and family members:from 900 USD. State fees are paid separately.
If any problems arise with obtaining individual papers, you cannot do without outside help. So, now the prosecutor's office of the state of Quintana Roo is carrying out additional control of births, and therefore there are difficulties in obtaining papers for both the child and the parents. Registration is permitted upon confirmation of the child’s identity, under a state stamp. We advise you to refrain from the common service of purchasing this document, because there is always a chance to obtain confirmation legally. Of course, if you actually gave birth to a child in our state.
We can also help register the child and receive all the documentation afterhome birthin Mexico and in the absence of primary documentation for the child.
We always stay in touch with our clients and can work in emergency mode. In some cases, to speed up the process, we strongly advise you to contact the offices of government agencies in other states of Mexico and completely organize this process ourselves.
