The city of Nashville (Davidson County) belongs to the jurisdiction of the Consulate General of Mexico in Atlanta (1700 Chantilly Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324). Nashville residents must book an appointment at the Atlanta consulate.

What about the Nashville address that appears online?

Some unofficial sources mention an address at 3310 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203. However, this address does not appear in the official SRE directory nor does it have its own page at consulmex.sre.gob.mx. It could be a satellite office, a seasonal consular section, or outdated information. We recommend verifying directly with the Atlanta Consulate before making a trip to that address.

If I live in Memphis, Tennessee, which is my consulate?

Residents of Memphis (Shelby County) and western Tennessee belong to the jurisdiction of the Career Consulate of Mexico in Little Rock, Arkansas (3500 South University Avenue, Little Rock, AR 72204, tel. (501) 372-6933). Do not go to the Atlanta consulate if you live in Memphis.

The Consulate General of Mexico in Atlanta organizes Consulate on Wheels outreach days for communities in Georgia and occasionally Tennessee. To find out the next visit dates in Tennessee, contact the Atlanta consulate directly via WhatsApp at (424) 309-0009 or check its official site.

How long does it take to get from Nashville to Atlanta for the consulate?

The distance from Nashville to Atlanta is approximately 250 miles (about 3.5-4 hours by car via I-24 and I-75).
