Tourist permit for Mexican born US citizen?


We are headed to La Paz this weekend.
My wife was born in Jalisco, naturalized US 25 years ago.
She never bothered to re-activate her duality with Mexico.
Monday morning I will get a permit at the TJ border office.
Does she need one?
I bet 100 migra lawyers would end up about 50/50 on this one!
What say you all??

I would assume if she has her mexican birth certificate with her in Mexico, there should not be any problem being in Mexico.

that is not a bad idea,
I will make a copy of her certificate and we will wing it....

(she can talk her way out of any situation - in either language!)

I hope this helps. I am unsure if Mexican Citizenship can "Expire".. that might be your next question...

From the US Department of State:


"DUAL NATIONALITY: Mexican law recognizes dual nationality for Mexicans by birth, meaning those born in Mexico or born abroad to Mexican parents. U.S. citizens who are also Mexican nationals are considered to be Mexican by local authorities. Dual-nationality status could hamper U.S. Government efforts to provide consular protection. Dual nationals are not subject to compulsory military service in Mexico. Travelers possessing both U.S. and Mexican nationalities must carry with them proof of their citizenship of both countries. Under Mexican law, dual nationals entering or departing Mexico must identify themselves as Mexican. For additional information, read our information on dual nationality and prevention of international child abduction."
