Do you need to renew your passport? Do you want to process your credential to vote? Looking to get a consular registration? Now in addition to being able to make your appointment at the Consulate General of Mexico Through the MEXITEL number, you can also do it online and save yourself the wait on the phone line.
The Mexican government has the Gob.mx site, a Web page that seeks to centralize government procedures and services in order to simplify access to information. On the page you will find the procedures by category, where you can see the necessary documents for each procedure.
However, if you want to schedule an appointment, we recommend you go directly to the Mexitel site since navigation on the Mexican government site can be a bit confusing. We recommend that you check to see if your local consulate has already resumed its consular services, after they closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here we explain the steps you must follow to schedule an appointment.
