Recognizing Common-Law Marriage in Mexico


Sonia

Recommended Posts

To prove a common-law relationship in Mexico, the applicants must present a Statutory Declaration or Affidavit signed before a Canadian Notary Public, stating that as of the date of the visa application the interested parties have cohabited publicly and continuously for a minimum of two years. This declaration must contain certified copies (certified by a Notary Public) of the official photo identification of the interested parties (passport, driver’s license), as well as documents demonstrating their common-law relationship (rental contract or financing to purchase a home signed jointly; joint property; joint bank or credit accounts; income tax return showing the common-law union; life insurance policy listing the common-law partner as beneficiary, etc.).

We have had accepted the civil unions for gay couples although used for straight couples here where the notaries can do them and we use them in this context if a party cannot marry due to losing a pension or alimony.  No need for getting documents from out of the country.
