The OP7 permit must be completed by both parents, or the people empowered to grant consent, who exercise parental authority or guardianship of minors under 18 years of age.

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING POINTS

If any of the parents or people that are authorized to give consent to the minor:

  • Is death, the death certificate must be presented.
  • If he/she is in Mexico, he/she must go to the passport issuance office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs closest to his/her home to grant your authorization to the minor, through the OP7 permit.
  • Resides in another state within the United States, must go to the Mexican Consulate closest to your home to grant your authorization to the minor through the OP7 permit.
  • If he/she is missing, you can request advice on the minor's parental authority from the protection department of the Mexican Consulate.

REQUIREMENTS:

  1. Original birth certificate of the minor and a letter-size copy.
  2. Valid official identification with photograph and signature and with the name as it appears on the birth certificate of the minor, with all the names and surnames and in the correct order of the parents or the persons exercising parental authority or guardianship of the minor. You may present any of the following original IDs and a letter-size copy (both sides on the same page) for each minor.
  • Mexican passport or passport from your country of origin (in case of foreigner)
  • Consular identification
  • Credential to vote with photograph (INE)
  • S. driver's license or state ID (no misspellings, abbreviations, or reversed last names)
  • National Military Service Card (released)

Documents without the applicant's signature, such as a green card and/or passport card, will not be accepted.

NOTE: The name on the identification present must coincide without exception, exactly with the name of the father or mother as it appears on the child's birth certificate, full name without abbreviations or omissions of names or surnames and must be in the correct order.

If one identifies with a document where the last name of the spouse appears, they must present the original marriage certificate and a letter-size copy on both sides.

 

VALIDITY

The OP7 permit is valid within 90 calendar days after the expression of the will.

SPECIAL CASES:

  1. In Mexican national territory, the permit may be granted before a Notary Public. The testimony or certified copy thereof must be made valid within thirty calendar days after the authorization of the public deed and must contain:
  1. a) The express declaration of the procedure that is authorized to be conducted; and
  2. b) The validity of the passport, in terms of Article 28 of these Regulations.
  1. If one of the parents or guardians has lost parental authority or guardianship, or has it suspended, the person exercising it exclusively shall deliver a certified copy of the corresponding judicial decision and the order by which it became enforceable.
  2. If the judgment was issued by a foreign court, it must be approved in order to take effect in national territory, in terms of the applicable legislation.
  3. The person or people exercising guardianship must also prove this character by delivering a certified copy by the competent authority of the judicial decision conferring the position, of the order by which it became enforceable or in which the protest and discernment of the latter was recorded. Similarly, this requirement must be met if parental authority is exercised by the grandparents.
  4. In the event of the consent of the person exercising parental authority or guardianship being substituted by the competent judicial authority, a certified copy of the judicial decision by which the judge authorizes the departure of the minor from the country and, consequently, the issuance of the passport must be delivered to the Registry. The time authorized by the judicial authority will determine the validity of the passport.
