Mexican Consulates now issuing Certified Copies of Birth Certificates

The Mexican government announced this month that starting January 15, 2015, all Mexican consulates in the United States will begin issuing certified copies of birth certificates for births registered in Mexico.

This new policy will be of great assistance to the many Mexican nationals residing the United States in obtaining these vital records.

In order to obtain a certified copy of their birth certificate, Mexican nationals will need to visit their nearest consulate and present proof of identity, submit an application, and provide a Clave Unica de Registro de Poblacion (if applicable). Each copy will cost $13.00.

For more information, Mexican nationals can call the toll free Centro de Informacion y Asistencia a Mexicanos number: 1 (855) 463-6395.

The Mexican Consulate in Denver is located at 5350 Leetsdale Drive, Suite 100, Denver, Colorado.
