As we remarked in a related article, foreign documents required for certain legal procedures in Mexico may need to be notarized/apostilled in their country of origin before you can file them at a Mexican government office. In addition to the notarization, official documents that are not originally presented in Spanish (e.g. those issued by Spain) must also be accompanied by a copy of the document(s) officially translated into Spanish. Documents that most commonly need to be translated into Spanish include birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates; academic and professional diplomas; and ..read more

Most of Mexico will not be changing its clocks this spring and fall, except for some Mexican municipalities along the northern border that synchronize their clocks with corresponding border cities in the US. In 2022, the Mexican Chamber of Deputies and Senate approved a change in the law that abandoned the practice of the country “springing forward” and “falling back” each year. The law also allowed for specific exceptions for Baja California state, and border municipalities in the states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas to continue applying daylight savings to keep thei ..read more

Solar eclipses are not rare—there’s at least one somewhere on Earth at least every 18 months or so. However, the path of a total solar eclipse is narrow, and so can only be viewed from a relatively small area—even smaller if you consider the path of the totality, which is very narrow.  Several hundred years will need to go by before a solar eclipse crosses the same path again. Previous solar eclipses The last time a solar eclipse path crossed over North America was on August 21st, 2017.  Back then, northern US states experienced the event—but the path came nowhere near Mexico.

In 2016, Mexico embarked on a program to significantly increase the country’s Daily Minimum Wage for millions of workers. That figure, in law, is also used in multiples to calculate ‘economic solvency’ rules for legal residency in Mexico. In tandem, Mexico introduced a new official unit of measurement known as “UMA.”  This article describes what changes happened, and why UMA was introduced. Why have the ‘economic solvency’ criteria for residency increased so much? Mexico’s minimum wage has more than trebled since 2016—and along with it, so too have the monthly income (pension) or savings ..read more
