All official English-language documents must be translated into Spanish by a certified official translator (perito traductor) in Mexico or authorized by the Mexican Consulate.
We authenticate vital, academic, and corporate records from all 50 states for legal use in Mexico.
An apostille for Mexico is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of U.S. public documents (such as FBI background checks, birth certificates, and marriage certificates) for use in Mexico. Since both the United States and Mexico are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, a standard Hague apostille is the only legal certification required by Mexican authorities.
For state-issued vital records (birth, marriage, or divorce certificates), the apostille must be issued by the Secretary of State where the document was originally recorded. For federal documents like FBI Background Checks, the apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
For Mexican Dual Citizenship (Doble Nacionalidad), Mexican Registro Civil offices require the applicant's U.S. birth certificate to be an original long-form certified copy bearing a state apostille, accompanied by an official Spanish translation by an authorized perito traductor.
Apostilles must remain permanently affixed to the original certified document. Removing staples will immediately void the certification for Mexican legal use.
