Is a child born in the US a Mexican citizen if the father is Mexican?

Answer 1

What I understand is that you can obtain duel citizenship. I understand by rights that a child born in Mexico to parents regardless of race automatically become Mexican citizens. Pending on the date of birth. At the same time you are suppose to go to the American consulate to get American citizenship so the child can travel across the border. I think it works about the same way as if parents from Mexico came to give birth on American soil. To establish American Citizenship you have to fill out the "Consular Report of Birth Abroad" Additional information is available on the internet at http://travel.state.gov/family/issues_birth.html. http://aztlan.net/dualcit.htm http://www.consulmexny.org/eng/dec_mex_cit.htm (this site gives information on citizenship in Mexico) I hope this answer helps you. I am trying to find out the same information.

Answer 2

If both parents were US citizens and married before the birth, the the child is automatically a US citizen; birthplace is irrelevant. However, if only one parent was a US citizen at the time of the birth , it gets a little trickier. It depends on when the child was born (laws change), however since 1952, if the couple was married before the birth and the father meets residency requirements in the US then the child is a US citizen. Your best bet is to consult an attorney who specializes in this.

Answer 3

No but the baby can be a citizen of Mexico and America, but because the parents are both citizens of mexica, then the baby will default to a Mexico Citizenship, that he can dispute at the age of 18.

Answer 4

Both. In Mexico (as in the United States) everyone born in its land has rights to its citizenship. So in your case, since you gave birth in Mexico, your baby has the right to be a Mexican citizen. However, since you are American, and in the United States your offspring can 'inherit' your citizenship, your baby can also be an American citizen. Luckily both countries have agreements that allow a person to have Dual Citizenship, So your baby keep both. I highly reccommend doing so. It can come in handy when travelling, etc, but specially in the event there is a war in the USA, or when your son goes off to college. That way you can send your son to Mexico and he won't have to be forced to go to the army, or he/she can go to the best schools in Mexico for a fraction of the cost of those in the US, or he/she could apply to FAFSA as a minority too.
