Hi Lucy, I do have double nationality but in my case I was a Mexican first and then as an adult was able to acquire United States citizenship, under such circumstances the Mexican government does not deny or revoke ones right to citizenship by birth. If your case is reverse I would suggest for you to inquire with the Mexican Consulate.

Hire an attorney (Mexican) who is connected to the immigration process. Doing it yourself will involve countless trips with more papers needed every time, and several trips to Mexico City. Oh..and bring money..lots.

My daughter was born in San Diego, but we were living in Playas de TJ at the time. My husband is a MX national, so I had to take her US birth certificate, have it Apostilated at SD court, and then registered her at the Registro Civil in TJ. I probably had to have my husband's birth certificate and our marriage certificate as well (it's been a few years).
She has birth certificates from both US and MX, so guess she has dual citizenship!

Hola Nando, gracias Por tu respuesta
Yes I'm same as you Mexican-American nacida en Tijuana Baja Cal
Yeah Mexican government don't deny nationality but last year when we travel to Guadalajara they told me if I could prove I was Mexican I dibt have to pay for a tourist card or so my kids. At this time I dot have an ID "Mexican" to prove it :)
I went into a web can't remember name now but it shows forms regarding dual citizenship. Just wanted to know if there is any other way! Easier-faster other then going to consulado Mexicano in Sd wait in line and deal with all paper work.

Why not go to the civil registry office in Tijuana and request a copy of your birth certificate?

edit: If your birth was not registered in Mexico then indeed a visit to the Mexican Consulate would be your option.

Good luck. Let us know.

School Of Hard Knocks...

Be very very patient. I used Mexican primera books to help (ex. the names of all los heroes de castillo chapultepéc, gobernacion, hero's of la revolución etc.)
