Mexican born US citizen- regain her rights?
My wife Teresa was born and raised in Jalisco,
Came across when she was 20, eventually got full US citizenship.
Unfortunately, we were not married back in the time that a Mexican could regain full rights, papers, etc.
So, now we are hoping at some point to buy some property in Baja, likely Guadalupe Valley, and not sure just what we will encounter when we try to do
the paperwork as a "citizen"
Anyone out there have experience with this issue?

All she needs to do is obtain a certified copy of her Mexican birth certificate and then apply for her Mexican federal IFE (voting) card. She can then
buy property and obtain title (escritura).
Edited to add - Does she have any family in Jalisco that can help her get her birth certificate?

We have a copy of her birth certificate, not an original
but there are still some tios and tias in Mascota who could help
Also, I think I have her old expired Mexican pasaporte
Will start working on getting a certified copy,
might even be an excuse to head down to Puerta Vallarta for a few days, her home town is just about 35 miles up the hill
Waaaaay up the hill

everything is Mexico has to be ORIGINAL. No use getting a certified copy of an expired passport - actually, passports do hold any power here, at
least not as ID.
I highly recommend you call or write to GILBERTO PINEDA in Mexico City. He is an attorney who really knows his stuff. He takes 24 hours to answer
emails, be patient. One must speak or write only in Spanish to him.
We used him for my citizanship and I have never met someone so above board and efficient as well as knowledgable. I will post his information as soon
as I find it.
But heck, any excuse to go to Puerto Vallarta is a good one!

HOWEVER- I think Bajagringo is right on with his information: she is Mexican-born ergo all she needs is her CURP then a voting card and voila, she can
do anything here legally, including buying property. No need to complicate a very simple case IMHO.

No I was not planning to get a certified copy of the passport,
just nice to have it along to add to the evidence pile.
We have the trail of documents from Mexican passport to her US passports, through the name changes, etc.
I do have a large file of documents on her brother Pedro- she petitioned his US citizenship and his original cert. copy birth certificate is in the
file- it shows that it was issued by the city clerk of her home town, Mascota.
I think that if we zip down to P.V. for a few days and take a day to go up the mountain to Mascota we can whip this thing in a hurry,
hopefully we might even get the voting card process started or even issued in the same trip
Thanks for all the input and encouragement....
