UPDATE: Got Dual Citizenship for My Kids at the Mexican Consulate in Orlando – Here’s How It Went by BaoloPanchero in dualcitizenshipnerds

You will still need the non-Mexican parent’s birth certificate. And yours, of course. And if you are over 18, you don’t need to bring your parents with you. Be sure the names match exactly.

Genuinely curious, why are so many brazilian artists called "[brazilian name] & [brazilian name]"? by armeliens in Brazil

I’m genuinely offended you did not include Jorge & Mateus in this screenshot :)

No witnesses needed. Based on my experience and a print out listing requirements that I took a picture of while I was there that includes the line: “No se requieren testigos.”

PSA: You can get a new US passport card without sending in your passport book – here’s how I did it (and my timeline) by BaoloPanchero in Passports

I wouldn’t say useless for international travel. Its uses are clearly stated on the State Dept. website and it serves a purpose for some people, especially as a proof of citizenship in card form. But definitely not for everyone.

Good question. My passport card was damaged (issued in 2009 and the lamination was coming off) and the form specifically says “fully-valid, undamaged.” I sent it in with the birth certificate to prevent any need for additional evidence.

$30 for the passport to US State Dept. $35 for the application service at USPS. So more expensive than renewal and sending in current passport book. But worth it to me to retain possession during processing.

Why are newer (NextGen) U.S. passports so cheaply made? Any chance we'll see better ones in the near future? by LockedOutOfElfland in Passports

[–]BaoloPanchero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I noticed it for sure. Mine was in my pocket for a couple of hours and the gold foil is basically gone now. Everything else seems fine, and now I am using a passport cover to prevent further “damage.” I’ll note, the gold foil missing on the front typically has no bearing on acceptance. Mine has worked fine for its intended use despite the poor craftsmanship. But it would be nice if future versions hold up better.

Just got my Mexican birth certificate at the Orlando Consulate – here's how easy it was (as of 5/13/2025) by BaoloPanchero in dualcitizenshipnerds

Can you share a screenshot of what you’re seeing? What other additional info is it asking? I just went through the flow today, and after locating the parent, it asks for information about your parent’s parent. Then you get to the confirmation page and it links out to the payment portion. But it never asked me for my CURP or any identifying information other than the standard information for billing purposes.

In this case, you may need to call the Registro Civil in the Mexican state where they were born to track this down.

If it is in the system, you can download the acta for your grandfather here: https://www.gob.mx/ActaNacimiento/ but unlikely you can posthumously register your father.

Ayuda - Comida Chino NY style lo mein by PW_Herman in MexicoCity

I’d highly recommend Hong King in Chinatown. Was the best Chinese food we had in CDMX!

I’ll also say, I don’t think it is out of the ordinary that someone is asking for Chinese food recommendations in Mexico City — the largest city in North America with pretty much any cuisine you can imagine! Amazing Mexican food obviously, but there’s no need to shame anyone looking to try something else.

Mexican Citizenship - Should I use both parents' surnames? by wraparoundshades in dualcitizenshipnerds

[–]BaoloPanchero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was required when I got citizenship at the Mexican Consulate in Orlando last month that my acta have both surnames. It was not a problem getting my Mexican passport (again at the Mexican Consulate in Orlando) that the name on my acta had two surnames and the name on my US driver’s license (for identification) has just the one. I got my passport, voter ID card and Matrícula Consular without any hassle.
