Book a consular appointment Call the consulate WhatsApp

One consular office for the Inland Northwest

The Consulate of Mexico in Boise covers one of the largest territories in the entire Mexican consular network: the counties of Idaho, four counties in eastern Oregon (Baker, Malheur, Union and Wallowa) and the state of Montana. That means thousands of square miles of farming valleys, ranches and small towns where the Mexican community has driven agricultural work for decades.

The office is at 701 Morrison Knudsen Drive, Suite 102, in Boise. Hispanics make up around 13% of Idaho's population and are the largest minority in the state, with a share of Mexican origin above the national average. Half of them live in just three counties: Canyon, Ada and Bonneville.

The Mexican community in Boise

Hispanics are Idaho's largest minority and the share of Mexican origin runs higher here than in the United States as a whole. Half live in Canyon, Ada and Bonneville counties.

Consulate support for farmworkers

Idaho is one of the country's major agricultural producers, and much of that output rests on Mexican workers, both residents and temporary H-2A visa holders. The Boise consulate offers free guidance to farmworkers and their families about their labor rights, even when the employer is based in another state within the district.

Main crops in the area: potatoes, sugar beets, onions, hops, dairy forage.

Services designed for farmworkers and their families

If you work in the fields and have a labor problem, you are not alone: the consulate can help you regardless of your immigration status. Call the Center for Information and Assistance for Mexicans (CIAM), available 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions – Mexican Consulate in Boise

Which states and counties does the Boise consulate serve?

Its district includes the counties of Idaho, four counties in eastern Oregon (Baker, Malheur, Union and Wallowa) and the state of Montana. It is one of the widest geographic areas covered by a single Mexican mission in the United States, which explains how central mobile outreach days are here.

I live in Montana. Do I really have to travel to Idaho?

Montana falls within the Boise district and has no consulate of its own, so yes, this is your office. The practical alternative is to wait for a Mobile Consulate day. Before setting out on a long drive, call (208) 343-6228 and ask whether one is planned near your town in the coming months.

I work in the fields on an H-2A visa. Can the consulate help me?

Yes, and it is one of the most relevant services in this region. If your passport is withheld, you are not paid what was agreed, you face deductions that should not apply, or the housing falls short of what was promised, the consular protection department can advise you and refer your case to U.S. labor authorities. The guidance is free and confidential.

How much does a Mexican passport cost in Boise?

The fee depends on the validity period you choose: 3, 6 or 10 years. Prices are the same across the consular network in the United States and are paid at the consulate on the day of your appointment. You can find the updated breakdown in our Mexican passport guide, along with the full list of documents to bring.

What should I do in an emergency outside office hours?

Call the Boise consulate emergency line: (208) 919-1857. It exists for detentions, serious accidents, deaths and risk situations that cannot wait until the next day. For routine questions about procedures, use the main number during business hours or email conboise@sre.gob.mx.
