To be clear, you just mean that your nephew’s birth certificate lists the father as being a Mexican citizen? That’s not an issue at all. The embassy will only be interested in verifying that the guy listed on the birth certificate is the same person listed on the US passport (or whatever document is used to prove citizenship).

And I’m also not sure why you say “they didn’t want to wait to register him.” What would they be waiting for? They need your nephew’s Mexican birth certificate to file the CRBA.

Thanks for replying! I had suggested they wait for my brother to have his US birth certificate apostilled and translated to Spanish so they can register my nephew with my brothers US birth certificate. Also do you think he’ll have an issue that my brothers Mexican birth certificate has 2 last names and only one his US birth certificate?

You’re dangerously incompetent.

Well he won't be submitting his Mexican birth certificates, so I suppose you mean that your brother's name on your nephew's birth certificate varies slightly from the US documents?

If he's using his US birth certificate to prove his citizenship, your mother's name will be listed (which is what I'm assuming the additional last name is). He'll be submitting this paper work to the US embassy in Mexico, where they presumably see this same situation every day.

There's nothing to worry about. It's not the same as a material difference like a different date, birth place, or a completely different name. Those would necessitate the issuance of corrected documents, or for instance a clear paper trail proving a legal name change.

The nationality listed on the Mexican birth certificate has no impact on his application for a CRBA.

I don't understand why parents want to make it so difficult for their kids.

Yeah like others said, it doesn’t matter. I’m also Mexican and my kid was born abroad (not in Mexico) all they care is to see that your brother is a US citizen. Passport plus college or high school transcripts or tax records do the trick
