Learn about the resources available for families in migration, such as dual nationality procedures and more.
If you are Mexican or Mexican and have children born in the United States, your children also have rights in Mexico. It is very important to keep this in mind and let your children know that they are part of a society that supports them, even living abroad.
With the firm intention of keeping migrant parents with U.S. children informed, the Institute for Women in Migration (IMUMI), created a guide to help migrant families with children born in the United States to obtain Mexican citizenship.
For this process, the Mexican consulates in the United States will request an extensive list of documentation.
Both the guide and the requested documentation, you can find them by entering our section Social Supports in the Know your Rights subsection.
IMUMI has various materials related to migrant families, mothers and fathers:
Transnational families guide: https://imumi.org/documentos/guia-familias-trasnacionales.pdf
Dual nationality procedure: https://ia800807.us.archive.org/35/items/DobleNacionalidad_201708/Doble%20nacionalidad.pdf
In each section of Acceso Latino you will find specific information on institutions and organizations that will support you in your daily life as a migrant in Mexico or the United States.
