The Apostolic Nunciature to the United Mexican States is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Mexico, with the rank of an embassy.

History

edit

Before 1992 the office was an Apostolic Delegation, without diplomatic status: its head was accredited to the Catholic Church in the country but not to the government. Pope John Paul II established the Nunciature to Mexico on 22 September 1992.[1]
