IMPORTANT! Nouvelle législation mexicaine

[Normand]

Important note for travel of minors

Based on the entry into force of the Regulations of the Mexican Migration
Law, beginning February 16, 2013 Mexican or foreign minors (under 18 years
of age) travelling alone or accompanied by a third party of legal age
(grandparent, aunt/uncle, other) must present, in addition to a valid
passport, a document showing the consent of both parents or those with
parental authority or guardianship over the minor. If the document is issued
in Canada it must be notarized, legalized by the Mexican Consulate or
Embassy in Canada, and translated into Spanish.

The text of this document must contain the parents’ express authorization
for the minor to travel alone or, if applicable, information on the adult
who is authorized to be responsible for the minor during the trip. The
document must state the purpose and length of the trip, and specify the
dates of entry and departure, as this will be a requirement for allowing the
minor to leave Mexican territory.

Minors travelling with at least one of their parents do not require any
authorization at all.

In light of the difficulty in meeting these new requirements in a short
timeframe during the December holiday season, Mexican immigration
authorities will, until February 15, 2013, allow minors (under 18 years of
age) travelling alone or with a third party to enter and leave Mexican
territory with the presentation of their valid passport.

For minors travelling alone, after February 15, 2013 it is recommended
that: 1) parents or guardians sign a letter of consent before a notary
public, containing the information outlined in the second paragraph - the
letter can be written in English or French; 2) send the document to the
closest Consulate for legalization; and 3) have the letter translated into
Spanish. The translation into Spanish does not need to be legalized and may
be an informal or unofficial translation. Mexican consular offices do not
provide translation services.

The procedure for legalizing documents involves the payment of fees, and as
the timeframe and requirements for processing may vary it is recommended
that you consult the consular office where the procedure will be performed.
The following link provides further information on how to legalize a
document. Below you will find the contact information for the Consulates of
Mexico in Canada.

Legalization of Foreign Documents

Consular legalization is performed on foreign public documents that must be
valid for legal purposes in Mexico.

Legalization may be provided to the signature and/or stamps contained in
public documents. It is an act of certification through which the consular
official certifies that the signature or seal is from a government office or
official, or from a notary located within the consular jurisdiction. This
certification does not prejudge the content of the document.

Canada IS NOT a Member State of the Hague Convention Abolishing the
Requirement for Legalisation of Foreign Public Documents (known as the
Apostille convention), and therefore the interested party must go to the
corresponding Mexican consular office to obtain the legalization of any
Canadian public document that he wishes to be legally valid in Mexico.

Each consular office is empowered to legalize documents issued within its
jurisdiction.

The Embassy is authorized to legalize documents issued by Canadian
authorities or notaries in any of the Provinces and Territories, that is,
throughout Canada.

Donc, le document qui était déjà requis pour revenir au Canada devra dorénavant être présenté pour entrer et sortir des frontières Mexicaines. C'est ce que ça semble dire du moins !

Bonjour Compteux

Les informations contenu dans le Post de Normand sont assez technique merci.

Mais tout ca est pour des personnes de moins de 18 ans qui voyage vers le Mexique soit en solo
ou avec des personnes " qui ne sont pas les parents".

Le Mexique a mise en place certaines nouvelles exigences pour des cas comme ca mais en verite ca existe deja pour plusieurs Pays. Le but est de protege les enfants.

Si je trouve une version Francaise de ce texte legale je le Post sur ce forum.

Revirement de situation !!!

Les mineurs voyageant au Mexique n'auront plus besoin de preuve de consentement écrite de leurs parents ou de ceux qui ont la garde de l'enfant. En effet, après avoir provoqué un tollé en décembre dernier en annonçant des «nouvelles règles pour les personnes mineures visitant le pays», voilà que le gouvernement mexicain s'est rétracté an abolissant ces mesures et n'aurait pas l'intention de revenir selon ce qu'a appris ExpressVoyage.ca.

Les nouvelles règles, décriées par plusieurs voyagistes et représentants de l'industrie touristique, exigeaient que le document en question soit notarié s'il était produit au Canada et approuvé par l’ambassade ou le consulat du Mexique au Canada. Il devait de plus être traduit en espagnol.

La règlementation était censée entrer en vigueur à compter du 9 novembre 2012, mais elle avait été reportée au 15 février 2013. Elle est maintenant suspendue avec aucune intention de revenir sur la décision selon le directeur du Conseil de Promotion Touristique du Mexique au Canada, Rodrigo Esponda.

Ce dernier a indiqué que l'abolition de ces mesures représentait un soulagement pour le pays.
