Questions
Frequently asked questions about Mexican consulates in the U.S.
Which consulate covers me, based on where I live?
Every Mexican consulate is assigned a district covering certain counties or states. To find yours, look for your state in the list of consulates on this page. If you are unsure, call MEXITEL (1-877-639-4835) and they will point you to the right one.
Can I walk into the consulate without an appointment?
Most consulates do not take walk-ins for passports, consular IDs or civil registry paperwork. Some allow certain notarial services (powers of attorney) without an appointment. Consular emergencies are always attended to immediately.
How much does a Mexican passport cost in the U.S.?
It depends on how long it is valid for. Roughly: 3 years (~$45 USD for adults), 6 years (~$80 USD) and 10 years (~$116 USD). The SRE updates prices every year, so always confirm the current fee at citas.sre.gob.mx.
Can I hold a Mexican passport and U.S. citizenship at the same time?
Yes. Mexico has recognised dual nationality since 1998. If you were born in Mexico or have Mexican parents, you can keep your Mexican passport even after becoming a U.S. citizen. The consulate handles all dual-nationality paperwork.
What should I do if I am detained in the United States?
You have the right to consular assistance immediately under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. Tell the officers you want to speak to the Mexican consulate. Call the 24-hour duty number of your nearest consulate or MEXITEL 1-877-639-4835.
Can I register my U.S.-born child as Mexican?
Yes. Children of Mexican citizens born in the United States can acquire Mexican nationality through the consulate. You need the U.S. birth certificate, Mexican ID for both parents and an appointment. The child ends up with dual nationality.
What is the Consulate on Wheels?
The “Consulado sobre Ruedas” programme (also called the mobile consulate) takes consular services to communities far from a fixed office. It travels to different cities on scheduled dates to handle passports, consular IDs and other paperwork. An appointment is required.
Consular emergencies — 24-hour protection
If you are a Mexican citizen and you have been detained, are at risk or need urgent help in the United States, you have the right to consular assistance immediately and free of charge under the Vienna Convention.
If your consulate’s number is not listed, call MEXITEL 1-877-639-4835 (free) or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Mexico on 800-592-0200.
Still unsure about your paperwork?
Tell the assistant your case: it tells you which documents to bring, which consulate to go to and in what order.
