Requirements to Get Mexican Residency Through Your Child

You may apply for permanent residency if:

  • You are the mother or father of a Mexican child, born in Mexico or naturalized.

  • Your child is a minor, or if over 18, you can prove they still depend on you economically.

Documents you'll need:

  • Your valid passport

  • Su child’s Mexican birth certificate

  • Proof of legal entry into Mexico (FMM/tourist card or entry stamp)

  • Mexican passport or ID of your child (if available)

  • Completed residency application form

  • Proof of address in Mexico

Remember: If your child was born in Mexico, their birth certificate automatically proves your family bond and their citizenship. This simplifies the process even more.
