    If a divorce is obtained in Mexico, the interested person should obtain a certified copy of the decree and have it authenticated by appropriate Mexican Government authorities such as those mentioned above.

    The Mexican Government officials signature last appearing on the decree should then be authenticated by an American consular officer for use of the document in the United States.

    It is also desirable that the document be translated by an official translator, who would certify to his translation before an American consular officer. The consular fees for authentication and taking the oath of a translator are $55.00.

    A divorce is a divorce is a divorce.

    If you get married in Mexico then come to the US, your marriage is not suddenly illegal.

    If you get divorced in Mexico than come to the US, you are still divorced.
