Overview

• After days of long lines and complaints, Baja California’s government says Tijuana is currently processing about 100 double‑nationality cases per day and is evaluating a further increase.
• Roughly 17,000 applications have been received statewide, about 80% from Tijuana, according to the state secretary of government.
• Earlier on Wednesday, attendees reported only 50 numbered tickets were handed out at Palacio Municipal, leaving many—including cross‑border travelers—unable to file.
• Applicants alleged poor queue management and claimed some people paid for access to tickets, while authorities acknowledged demand has outstripped local capacity.
• Officials emphasize the procedure is free during the campaign and handled locally with files sent to Mexicali for validation, though fee exemptions do not apply to births in specified U.S. states and territories.
