Hours of the Mexican Consulate in Sacramento
Consular service for the Sacramento Valley
The Mexican Consulate General in Sacramento serves the Mexican community of California's capital and the surrounding agricultural valley. The northern Central Valley is one of the most productive farming regions in the United States, and Mexican workers have been the backbone of its economy for generations, alongside a growing presence in services, transportation and public administration.
The consular office is located at 2093 Arena Boulevard, in the north of the city. From here it coordinates Consulate on Wheels sessions that travel across the rural counties of Northern California, bringing passports, consular IDs and civil registry services to those who live far from the capital.
