So yesterday I just recieved my new california drivers license, and my apostilled documents! I am incredibly excited about this because it means I finally have all of my documents in order! Passports, Birth/Marrige Certificates, The works!
And the process was unexpectingly fast.
How'd I do it [apostille]? I mailed of my documents, original birth cerificate(s) and marrige license, to the secretary of state with a check of $60 ($20 per Document) and a first-class self addressed envelope for extra speedyness ;p and I got my documents after only 1.5 weeks!
What is an Apostille? An Apostille is a legal document that verifys the authenticity of a document. So basically it verifies the signature(s) to prove its a legal document lol.
And these documents can/will be used to legalize myself and my daughter as dual citizens ^_^

ohhhhhhhhh. if only bureacracy in mexico worked as smoothly! lol :) i don't want to scare you, but it does requiere a whole lot of patience!
ReplyDeletei've never been to PV, but have heard it's beautiful. good luck with your move!
thanks for stopping by my blog! re: your question. giving birth in mexico city was great. that reminds me, there is whole other blog post dedicated to that...coming soon. my advice: research the hospital and make sure they are in line with the kind of birth you want, that way you won't be disappointed with the way you are treated.
Hey, I just stumbled upon your blog from a link on a different blog that I follow (forgot which one). I really have enjoyed it thus far.
ReplyDeleteSorry to start out with a self-serving questions, but what you wrote here had me thinking about my upcoming visa process. I am moving to Mexico in August and the school I will be working for is helping me with my visa issues. One thing that keeps confusing me is that they have repeatedly told me that I do not need the apostille. Every site I have seen says you need them. How did you find out that you needed them?
I found out I needed them from my mother-in-law; her youngest son is a US citizen. He went through his paper work to become a dual citizen and needed the apostilles in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteAnd also from the rollybrook website under 'How to move to Mexico'.
I think it is a good idea to get them just in case, because its not something you could easily obtain in Mexico.
Feel free to ask any questions :)

ReplyDeleteThat's one thing that has me nervous, if i get anything from Mexico i hope it's to learn to breath and be patient lol.
Thank you, and I look forward to reading your post :)
