For those interested in becoming a Mexican citizen, there's some good news. Mexico is one of the least restrictive nations in the world when it comes to their citizenship naturalization process, so becoming a citizen of Mexico is relatively easy. However, it will take some time and you can't just decide to move there tomorrow. Here is a high level view of the process: *First, before you can become a citizen of Mexico, you'll need to reside there for a minimum of 5 years with proper legal status. * Second, Make sure your documents are in good order. Before you apply for Mexican citizenship, you'll need to obtain an FM-3 or FM-2 document and maintain it in good standing along with your current passport. you can reside in Mexico with these documents until you are eligible to apply for citizenship. * Third, get a passport quality identification photo taken. You'll need to provide your own identification picture when applying for citizenship. * Fourth, Fill out the citizenship application. Make sure that you provide completely accurate information and that you complete the application fully. * Fifth, File your application with the applicable filing fee. I believe it is around $53. The filing fee that is charged by the Mexican government varies depending on certain criteria, but isn't particularly expensive. Make sure that your identification photo is suitable for its purpose, a passport photo is recommended. Don't file for citizenship if you haven't been legally living in Mexico for at least 5 years you will be rejected and it will be more difficult to apply for citizenship later. Here are some documents you will need for your application: a) A letter in Spanish (in Chicago, English only was accepted) addressed to the proper Immigration authority, stating the applicant's full name, current address, a request to obtain the FM-3, and a statement to the effect that all pertinent paperwork is attached b) Your passport c) Proof of income d) A certificate of moral solvency from the local police attesting that you have no outstanding warrants and/or you are not subject to any probationary restrictions. e) A doctor's certificate stating that you have no communicable diseases, including HIV f) Passport photos g) cash or a money order for the application fee (verify the amount) h) If you're divorced, you'll need a certified copy of your divorce decree; and if you're married, you'll need a certified copy of your marriage license.
