Question
I´m 26 years old. I was born in USA, when I was little, my parents brought me to Mexico and they registered me as beeing born here but I already had a US birth certificate. My mother is From the US and my father is Mexican.  I have a US passport and I have visited the US for many vacations but I have lived in Mexico all my life. What should I do to clear up my situation and also is there any paperwork or taxes I should be filing at the US consulate.  

Answer
Before anything else, thanks for writing me at AllExperts.com

Todo lo que hay que hacer es anular el acta de nacimiento mexicana presentando el acta de nacimiento de los EUA y una identificación personal. Con eso se anula el acta mexicana y se procede a solicitar una Declaración de Nacionalidad Mexicana presentando el acta de nacimiento de tu padre, (es equivalente a un acta de nacimiento mexicana) y con ello se reconoce tu doble nacionalidad y ya no tendrás problemas.

Y por los impuestos o cualquier otra cosa relacionada con los EUA no hay problema porque no vives en los EUA. Todos los trámites que deberás hacer son en México.

Debes acudir a la Oficina del Registro Civil en donde te registraron y ahí solicitar la anulación. El resto de los pasos ahí mismo tendrán que indicártelos.

Any doubt or another question, let me know it please.
