Im very confused.

Im sorry i posted before about the dual citizenship and what office to ask for when you have 2 citizenships.

My question is specific now, i have a birth certificate from both countries, Mexico and Spain. I was born in Mexico, lived in Mexico all my life so apparently seems this is the office I should send my PR common law application to.

I have my Spanish birth certificate officially translated, will this certificate work to send in the Mexico checklist? Is an official certificate however on Mexico checklist it says
"Birth and marriage certificates must be Government-certified true copies (copies certified as authentic by
the issuing governmental authority, signed and sealed). "

Do i need to get my Mexican birth certificate officially translated? Can I just send the spanish one? this one is not sealed..is the way it is just officially translated and signed..will it work?

Hope someone can help me, i have all my application ready except this and i really dont want to make a mistake that will make my application take longer.

Please help!

If you were born in Mexico and have Spaniard parents you may have the privilege to have a Spanish Birth Certificate,
but as you were born in Mexico, that is the one that should count as the authentic birth certificate...
The Spanish Birth certificate works more in order to keep your privileges of a son from Spaniard Parents...
But you should use the one that is issue in Mexico, as Mexico seems to be your real place of birth....

Yes, you will have to go through all the headaches of an official translation issued by a government agency
 
Thanks for that answer, i couldnt find anywhere what certificate to send, it only says an oficially translated birth certificate so...was hoping i could send the one i got.
Guess i will have to start with paperwork again.

Thanks for helping me out i really appreciate it.
