4. Mexican nationality
The purpose of this question is to find out whether or not people born in another country have Mexican nationality.

Read the question and when you get an answer, circle the appropriate code.

A person has Mexican nationality when they are recognized by the Mexican State as a member of this nation.

Mexican nationals are people born abroad who:

- Their father or mother is a Mexican national born in Mexican territory.
- Their father or mother is a naturalized Mexican citizen.
- Obtained the citizenship charter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Consider that naturalization is the legal process by which Mexican nationality is granted to people born in another country.
