She had helped a friend get his and he couldn't speak or read the most basic Spanish sentences. When AMLO came into office most of the branch managers were replaced. My friends used an atty in Chapala in 2019. You could check again if you still haven't done it yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have been calling weekly to Mexico City, no answer! I also sent all the required docs to the appointment email. No answer! A couple weeks ago I asked a notary to help with getting this document. She is getting somewhere! She forwarded an email asking to send all my documents and they will get it done in short time. Hopefully very soon! I think Mexico city must be answering professional people before replying to the public. So if this is done...then I can go for my test (I hope) I had an email from the Colima office, and everything in Colima is still suspended. My question to those of you living in the Guadalajara area, do you know if Citizenship is operating in there? Do I need an appointment? I would like to get this done, I have been studying for the exam for so long! I can't stop studying or I will forget everything! Thanks again for any advice on this! Hello! Do you know the email address where this person from No antecedentes replied? I have been trying to get a contact with them but no answers... Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mostlylost 1,440 Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 The federal govt. has announced that the INE offices will open on August 3rd. Possibly the office for the no antecedentes reports will open on that date as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travelero 3 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I read on El Financiero that CDMX is offering the Carta de no Antecedentes Penales online, as of yesterday. Does anyone know if this online method would work for foreigners trying to obtain the Carta for naturalization purposes? I intend to attempt to register a Llave CDMX tomorrow and try this for myself, but wondering if anyone has thoughts about whether our situation as extranjeros would prevent us from using the new online method.

Travelero 3 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Update: I just successfully created my cuenta "Llave CDMX" The website is impressive. I entered my CURP and it auto-filled my data. Then I uploaded: (1) Color pdf of front and back of INM card, (2) photo of a recent foto tamanno credencial, and (3) An estado de cuenta from my bank. Documents are under review and when approved, I will have a full account that *should* be sufficient to request a Carta de No Antecedentes Penales at the federal level. **edit - Nope! This appears to be a solicitud for a Carta de No Antecedentes that is equivalent to the State-level Carta. In other words, if you reside in the CDMX, this would be the state letter of no criminal records, and not the letter you get in Coyoacan. In the "Alcaldia" section of the solicitud, the only listed options are neighborhoods of Mexico City. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mostlylost 1,440 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Doesn't appear to be even a state level. Looks like Mexico City only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travelero 3 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 8 days have passed since I emailed SEGOB requesting a cita, with all of the required information attached. I emailed both addresses that they've advertised (as above, and also citasantecedentes@ same domain). I've also called them several times but no one answers, and no one returns my voicemail messages.

Travelero 3 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) I just received a response, 9 days after requesting the cita via email. They highlighted one of the required items, I suppose to indicate that I omitted it in my original request. I think it's accurate because I realized a few hours after I sent my request that I failed to include the solicitud, which I free typed, citing which law entitles me to request the carta, and which department/entity requires it of me (the SRE). The email they sent from is: citasantecedentes@sspc.gob.mx edit to give a timeline summary: - Emailed them to requested a cita, with docs attached to email - 9 days later, received a response the was a copy/paste of the required documents to attach, with "solicitud fundada" highlighted. No explanation, no human communication. - A couple of hours after receiving their email, I replied with the request letter attached, and my signature pasted into the letter - 5 days later they responded with a confirmation of cita, indicating the date and time and what to bring Edited October 17, 2020 by Travelero new information Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travelero 3 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Which SRE office do I go to in Mexico City after I receive the carta de no antecedentes penales? I have a checklist of all of the items that I need to bring to apply for naturalizacion por residencia (from the SRE website), plus the amount that I need to pay before I go, and bring the receipt...but their website doesn't say which branch office in Mexico City handles this, and there are lots of locations. https://directorio.sre.gob.mx/index.php/delegaciones Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you get in touch with them? I really think you should before making a trip to Mexico City for this. I don't have time to go through all the DOF entries where they keep changing and updating everything, but here's two relevant ones: https://dof.gob.mx/nota_detalle.php?codigo=5591687&fecha=16/04/2020 "SEXTO a) Durante el periodo que comprende del 20 al 30 de abril de 2020 se suspende la atención y recepción de las solicitudes y cualquier trámite relativo a los procedimientos administrativos de nacionalidad, naturalización y artículo 27 constitucional, que proporciona la Dirección General de Asuntos Jurídicos, tanto en las oficinas centrales, como en las Delegaciones foráneas de la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores, así como cualquier recurso de revisión en contra de las resoluciones emitidas por la Dirección General de Asuntos Jurídicos." Then in future updates they keep this in place, past the dates above. In this one, they mention what is now available from SRE, including certified copies of naturalization certificates, renouncing Mexican citizenship, delivery of naturalization certificates in Mexico City only, they are doing passports also which was restored a few months ago, but acceptance of new applications remains suspended. https://www.dof.gob.mx/nota_detalle.php?codigo=5601385&fecha=29/09/2020 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travelero 3 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Thanks Scott. Everything you posted was helpful and I now see the chain of DOF entries you referred to. It looks like Sept 29th was the last update to Sexto a) ,which appears to be the relevant language, just as you pointed out. I did receive a response from them earlier today. They mentioned the same DOF entries as you, and indicated that the process is currently suspended nationwide, and will only be restarted for in person transactions when "the health authority" announces appropriate measures to prevent contagion from in-person activities and the semaphore is green in the office location (either the central SRE office, or the particular state where the remote delegation is located). He also mentioned that all constancias with expiration dates would still be held to the date printed on the document, and if it has no stated expiration date or validity period, 3 months is what SRE will use as the maximum permissible validity period from the date of issue. In my case that means I need to get my application in to SRE by 07 Jan 2021 or I will need to start over. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travelero 3 Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 I would guess that Campeche will be the first delegacion that opens to accept applications. If that happens, the question will be, do the officials there accept an application from a non resident of Campeche? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travelero 3 Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Just received my carta de no antecedentes penales (federal). I arrived 10 minutes prior to my appointment to find a long line, so initially I waited in it. Appeared to be mostly upper class central americans. I listened to them talking to the guard as the line moved forward and quickly realized that none of them had a cita. So I raised my voice, said una disculpa, tengo una cita (in only 8 minutes at that point...) and the guard glanced at the printed email and waved me into the metal detector. The lady on the other side told me I must apagar el celular, and she watched me turn it off. After that I walked into the building, did the temp check and hand sanitizer thing, and awaited the lady at the counter, who was receiving, reviewing, processing, and following up on the cartas all by herself! Here's the process I had to follow, in case anyone else has to attempt this without a translator: Show the lady at the counter all *copies* of (1) birth certificate + apostille, (2) translated birth certificate, (3) INM card (4) copy of just the photo page of passport. I gave a color copy which she accepted without complaint. The only original she wanted to see was my INM (residente permanente) card. She stapled all of those copies together and put a one-page application page on top, told me to go fill it out and then return to the counter. The form required me to write my name, the date, check which items I had provided (the copies stapled to the form), and under which section of the law I was entitled to get the carta (section B, the first option). Then sign and date. Then it gets interesting. You give her the form and go sit and wait again. Eventually she brings you a photocopy of what she produced. You must review it, ensure that your name and details are accurate, then return to the counter. Then hand write on the copy near the top "Recibo/recibi el original / [fecha] / [firma]". Then you awkwardly wait for her to find the original she had just produced, she hands it to you and that's it, "que tenga un buen dia, bai". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nik 1 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 I was wondering if anybody knows if they have started accepting applications in Mexico City or any other SRE offices? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mostlylost 1,440 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 The Mexico City office phone is 800 8010 773 or 553 686 5100 They opened for passports January 26. Nothing published about nationalization. Here is the list of all the states SRE offices. https://directorio.sre.gob.mx/index.php/delegaciones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
