welcome to eat by the travel i'm jenny and this video is part two in our series of how
to get your mexican citizenship you'll want to make sure you watch part one so you know what
documents you need to get ready and once you have your documents ready you're ready to make
your appointment online we're actually going to walk you through two different appointments the
first one is zeragisto seaweed for getting the mexican citizenship and the second appointment
is for getting your mexican passport which yes they are two completely different appointments
and then at the end of this video we're going to share some other tips in planning the process that
you don't want to miss out on so stay with us to the end and let's go ahead and get started
get on the website okay here's how to make your registro civil appointment the website to make
your appointment is mexitel.sre.gov and you can also find it linked in the description below
first you'll need to create an account
fill out your information
and then log in
once you're logged in you're going to be asked to fill out
your location information so your zip code city which offices in case your city or region has
multiple consular offices and then you want to select registro cv this type
of appointment is also a nascimiento reception de documentos so remember from our first video
this process is basically you registering your birth as a foreign-born mexican abroad
fill out your name completely details and buscar just find appointments so here we have for example
the month of april and you'll see that there is no availability for any of the upcoming appointments
that means that they've all either been filled or there just aren't any if they're blank there were
no appointments available that day if they're read that means that they've all been filled up
so this should give you a pretty good idea at how far in advance they post
appointments they only post a few weeks out in advance so if you don't see any appointments you
will want to revisit every day or every other day to see if any new slots have opened up
now we'll go ahead and show you how to make an appointment for your mexican passport
which is going to have to be on a different day after you've gotten your registration appointment
and your mexican citizenship documents so same way you want to log into your account but this time
you're going to fill out pasaporte appointment go ahead and tell them you're not a robot
find appointments and although this month of april there aren't any available it looks like
there are some in may so this will give you a good idea of what it looks like when there
are actually slots available so you'll click on any one of the days that have availability
and this is what the appointment slots look like we've got nine slots at 10 a.m
four slots at 11 30. just pick a time that works for you and you're all set
once your appointment is confirmed you'll get something called the folio de la sita
which you'll want to print out and take with you to your appointment
so here are tips for making the appointment and planning for the appointment first tip is plan
to spend at least three hours at your appointment and so if you need to take some time off of work
a half day in the afternoons you should be pretty good half days in the morning are a little tricky
because it could take longer so just try to plan your day and not have too much else going on that
day tip number two we actually mentioned in the previous video because it's very very important
it's a good idea to get your paperwork checked at the mexican consulate prior to your digital cd
appointment yes they will review your paperwork if you just walk in and ask to speak to the registro
civil desk or at least they did for us in chicago i'm hoping that whichever consulate you went to
will do the same for you it saved us a lot of headaches in the future so highly recommend
that you take your paperwork to get checked tip number three is to plan at least one hour or so
to get your mexican passport it's much quicker than the civil appointment
but still can be more or less about an hour so you'll want to make sure you've prepared enough
time for that as well on a separate day thanks so much for watching i hope that this video
was helpful and if you have any questions for us please don't hesitate to write down
