Those consulted are offices of the Mexican government in the United States, and their mission is to protect the rights and interests of Mexicans.
The Government of Mexico has 50 consulates in US territory. A consulate provides services for Mexicans abroad, for example, obtaining and processing official documentation such as a Mexican passport, consular registration, voter ID and military card.
Likewise, a Mexican consulate in the United States (and in any country in the world), also issues Civil Registry documents such as birth registration, definition certificates and certified copies of birth certificates. In addition, the consulates are responsible for validating marriages between Mexicans abroad.
In addition, offering services of paperwork, civil registration and even notary services such as wills and powers of attorney, the Mexican consulates are involved in issues of education, culture and health of the compatriots.
For example, during the pandemic, Mexican consulates in the United States have held vaccination and COVID-19 testing drives for Mexican immigrants. Also through the Ventanilla de Salud program, it provides physical and mental health care.
Likewise, its courses and workshops on entrepreneurship, economic development, leadership and community empowerment stand out.
Another of the objectives of the consulates is to guide migrants in migratory, human rights, labor, administrative, family and legal matters.
