Once you become a Residente Temporal, then following the 4 qualification period, you may change to full Permanent Residency (Residente Permanente) status or possibly apply to become a Naturalized Citizen. SRE currently requires completing 5 years on a prior Residente Permanente, Resident Temporal or FM2 to begin qualifying for Naturalized Citizenship, or Resident Temporal – with an aggregate of 5 continuous years between types of INM residency.* The SRE published new rules and new requirements in Feb. 2014. These new rules are listed at: http://www.dof.gob.mx/nota_detalle.php?codigo=5331363&fecha=31/01/2014.

Pay attention to the General Requirements section. (“REQUISITOS GENERALES”) .

*Current versions of SRE’s official rules and regs for becoming a naturalized citizen can be found at: http://www.sre.gob.mx and SRE’s Webpage on Citizenship Requirements (http://www.sre.gob.mx/index.php/carta-de-naturalizacion-por-residencia) Persons over age 60 do not have to take the Mexican history test. Others can check out the current 100 questions on the history test: http://www.sre.gob.mx/images/stories/docnatnacio/guia_estudio09.pdf Note that under the old rules, citizenship applications were made before the expiration of the Inmigrante (FM2) – REQUIRING at least 6 months left on their current INM permit. This translates to having an Inmigrado permit under the old pre-November 2012 INM system, or having a Residente Permanente permit or Residente Temporal, after completing at least 5 continuous years as a Resident (5 years of unbroken combined FM2/Resident status).

Other Notes on the Mexican citizenship process: You must prove that you were not out of Mexico for more than 180 days out of the last 2 years. When they grant you citizenship, you will receive a Carta de Naturalización. This document is as important as your birth certificate, marriage license, etc. Keep it safe. Mexican passport costs: http://www.sre.gob.mx/index.php/pago-de-derechos-de-pasaporte, If you’re over age 60, passports cost 50% less than if you are under 60.

Mexican Citizenship

We can help you be a Mexican citizen if you have a Mexican parent and can do everything without you having to come to Mexico personally. Foreigners who have completed 5 years with an FM2 (inmigrante), inmigrado or residente temporal or permanente or any combination of the aforementioned documents may apply to be naturalized citizens.

People married to Mexican citizens (with their marriage duly registered in Mexico), people with a Mexican child or who are from a Latin American country only need wait 2 years to obtain citizenship

Hi, .... just wondering. How would one prove that you were not out of Mexico for more than 180 days out of the last 2 years.

We started with an FM 2 for 5 years, then FM3 for 3 years and inmigrante since April 2011. Is that enough to get started?

FM2 to FM3 means you were forced to leave the country as at the end of the FM2 you had to go inmigrado or leave so that would mean you broke your continuity and started over after your FM3 with your 5 years starting with your inmigrante card so then in 2016 you could.

I never left Mexico and when I changed from FM2 to FM3, there was not an option to go inmigrado. I was told I had to do this progression. FM2, FM3, Inmigrado.
I have had an uninterrupted stay in Mexico for 11 years but even so I cannot apply for citizenship until 2016. Is that correct?

Maybe you are confusing FM2 and FM3. It would make more sense if you were FM3 for 5 years then FM2 then inmigrante, check your papers and if that is the case then you might qualify faster.

Ooops/ You are right, Fm3 for 5 years, then FM2, and Inmigrado in 2011. So I can't make an appointment with you to see about citizenship until 2016???

When did you get FM2? 5 years after that date you are good to go!
