- The General Management of the Civil Registry in coordination el Advisory Council on Migration Policy of the Ministry of the Interior implement the “Soy México” program.
Guanajuato, Gto. 06 November 2022.- With the aim of supporting the Mexican-American population, the General Directorate of the Civil Registry of the state of Guanajuato, in coordination with the Advisory Council on Migration Policy of the Ministry of the Interior, implements the “I am Mexico” program.
This binational strategy benefits children and adolescents born in the United States to process the Mexican birth certificate and assign the unique population registry code (CURP), through the process of entering the American birth certificate before the Mexican civil registry, simplifying the legalization of the foreign document.
This mechanism is an alternative to that of the Apostille, which allows you to electronically verify the existence of US birth certificates, for inclusion in the Civil Registry.
The “Soy México” program is valid only for cases where the birth certificate is not apostilled and the user for some reason cannot process the corresponding apostille.
It will be in effect until November 2022 in all Civil Status Offices, with the exception of death rooms, double rooms or hospitals.
The interested party must go directly to the Civil Status Office closest to his / her home, in order to be able to indicate the requirements that must be followed in order to benefit from the program.
Currently the binational strategy includes actions for the verification of certificates in the American Union in the states of: Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana , Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi and Montana. Also participating are the states of North Carolina, North Dakota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Wyoming and New York City.
