No. Although the United States does generally recognize marriages performed in Mexico, the federal government does not currently recognize same-sex marriages regardless of where they were performed. However, individual states that have legalized same-sex marriage do recognize same-sex marriages performed in Mexico. Also, same-sex marriages performed in the United States are recognized by the Mexican government, including for immigration purposes.


Does California recognize Mexico marriages?

Both California and Mexico recognize marriages performed in other jurisdictions as long as the marriage was legal in the jurisdiction where it was performed. Both, however, reserve the right to reject a marriage which is "against public policy" (e.g., incestuous or polygamous marriages). Although the State of California recognizes same-sex marriages performed anywhere it was legal between June 16, 2008 and November 5, 2008, Mexico did not begin allowing same-sex couples to marry until March 4, 2010.
