Can an American citizen get married to a Mexican citizen in Mexico?

Answer 1

go to the Immigration office in whatever Mexican state you are in. you need a passport, and visa to file for a marriage permit. once you have permission the office will ask you to pay a fee at the bank. the bank will sign your paper, return to the immigration office they will give a different paper of permission which you take to the church or the civil office, where ever you choose to get married. It will take several months, but $tipping$ the right people will help speed things up.

Answer 2

Yes, marrying a Mexican citizen is the fastest way for an American citizen to become a Mexican citizen. As long as your marriage is legal in the jurisdiction in which it was performed, your marriage will be recognized by Mexico because of recent ruling of the Mexican Supreme Court. Most likely, your marriage will need to be a "marriage" and not a "civil union," although the distinction is not clear. You can either apply for an immigrant visa at the Mexican consulate, or enter Mexico with an FMM "tourist card" then apply for the immigrant visa from within Mexico.

You will need:

(1) your US passport;

(2) your husband's Mexican passport;

(3) an original copy of your marriage certificate bearing an apostille seal (Google it);

(4) a letter from you in Spanish saying you are applying for an immigrant visa by virtue of your marriage to a Mexican;

(5) a similar letter from your husband confirming that he is your husband and that he wants you to come live with him in Mexico and the location where you will live with him;

(6) bank statements showing sufficient income or wealth to produce a family income of at least US$1,500 per month (or $750 per month if your husband owns a home in Mexico). This minimum goes up slightly every year;

(7) About $140 in fees; and,

(8) Various forms which the consulate will give you to fill out.

When the consulate deems your application complete, they will place a special sticker in your passport. Later, when you arrive in Mexico, you must go to the office of the Instituto Nacional de Migración that is closest to your home. They will continue the process and give you a laminated card similar to a US green card. That card needs to be renewed each year.

After two years of living in Mexico with the immigrant visa card, you are eligible to apply for naturalization as a Mexican citizen. That process will take anywhere from 8 months to 2 years. If successful, the Mexican government will ask you to symbolically renounce your U.S. Citizenship. The U.S. will not recognize that your renunciation (you cannot legally renounce your US citizenship) and you will enjoy Dual Citizenship, possessing both a Mexican and U.S. passport.

While you are in Mexico, you are a Mexican citizen and cannot claim to be a U.S. citizen. While you are in the U.S., you are a U.S. citizen and cannot claim to be a Mexican citizen. While you are in a third country, you may present yourself as being a citizen of either Mexico or the U.S., your choice.

Only about 40 Americans become Mexican citizens each year and they are mostly retired folk. The path to citizenship for same-sex spouses of Mexican citizens has only been open since August 10, 2010, the date of the Mexican Supreme Court decision. It is not known if anyone has obtained citizenship by virtue of same-sex marriage, but it is legally possible.

It's exactly the same as marrying anyone else. The only real difference is that an illegal alien who get's married to a US Citizen will have a much harder time becoming legal.
