Once you obtain Mexico Naturalization Certificate then you will have dual nationality if
your country allows it, the following information applies for U.S. Citizens:
The concept of dual nationality means that a person is a citizen of two countries at the
same time. Each country has its own citizenship laws based on its own policy. Persons
may have dual nationality by automatic operation of different laws rather than by
choice. For example, a child born in a foreign country to U.S. Citizen parents may be
both a U.S. Citizen and a citizen of the country of birth.
A U.S. Citizen may acquire foreign citizenship by marriage, or a person naturalized as a
U.S. Citizen may not lose the citizenship of the country of birth. U.S. Law does not
mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one citizenship or another.
Also, a person who is automatically granted another citizenship does not risk losing U.
S. Citizenship. However, a person who acquires a foreign citizenship by applying for it
may lose U.S. Citizenship. In order to lose U.S. Citizenship, the law requires that the
person must apply for the foreign citizenship voluntarily, by free choice, and with the
intention to give up U.S. Citizenship.
Intent can be shown by the person's statements or conduct. The U.S. Government
recognizes that dual nationality exists but does not encourage it as a matter of policy
because of the problems it may cause. Claims of other countries on dual national U.S.
Citizens may conflict with U.S. Law, and dual nationality may limit U.S. Government
efforts to assist citizens abroad. The country where a dual national is located generally
has a stronger claim to that person's allegiance.
However, dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign
country. They are required to obey the laws of both countries. Either country has the
right to enforce its laws, particularly if the person later travels there. Most U.S.
Citizens, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. Passport to enter and leave the
United States. Dual nationals may also be required by the foreign country to use its
passport to enter and leave that country. Use of the foreign passport does not
endanger U.S. Citizenship. Most countries permit a person to renounce or otherwise
lose citizenship.
Information on losing foreign citizenship can be obtained from the foreign country's
embassy and consulates in the United States. Americans can renounce U.S. Citizenship
in the proper form at U.S. Embassies and consulates abroad.
