While we did not strictly need to get our baby a Mexican passport, we thought the process would be fairly simple and fast. I’ve been wrong before, but probably not quite this wrong. Please join us on our journey to get a Mexican passport in Puerto Vallarta, and all the ups and downs along the way.
Now that we have the Mexican birth certificate, we can start the next step of the process. In this post we detail our experience getting the Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) and US Passport. It was nice to finally have a project in our native language, and all things considered, this went smoothly. However, for a few days we endured some pretty intense stress because we could not get any official information. Read the post to find out how we got through it!
After having a baby in Mexico, we need to get the Mexican birth certificate before we can even start applying for US citizenship. However, this is not an easy or straightforward process. Welcome to our insanity!
This is an overview our experience with having a baby in Mexico. From the medical care to the documentation as a dual citizen, we did it all ourselves. I hope this post can help you decide if birth tourism is a good choice for you!
