GN 00312.258 Mexico – Vital Statistics Records

A. Policy for requesting birth, marriage, divorce, and death records

Mexico has a nationwide repository of civil registration records online at https://www.gob.mx/ActaNacimiento/. Records are also held at Register Offices in all 32 states of Mexico.

B. Procedure for requesting birth, marriage, divorce, and death records

1. Office to contact

Contact the Register Offices or State Archives. Contact the district court where the divorce was granted. Register Offices or State Archives direct individuals to self-service kiosks inside the same office to print records themselves. Individuals may also print copies of birth records online, at-home through the Internet at https://www.gob.mx/ActaNacimiento/.

NOTE: 

While, Mexico considers these as certified evidence, we do not accept kiosk-printed or at-home printed documents unless the custodian subsequently affixes a signature, stamp, or seal with a statement attesting to the accuracy.

2. Birth records

Include the following information in requests for birth records:

  • Full name at the time of birth (see GN 00307.160 for information on double surnames)

  • Date of birth

  • Place of birth

  • Father's full name

  • Mother's full maiden name

3. Fee

Costs vary from state to state and are lower for in-person requests.
