Mexico’s Consulates in the United States: Consular Assistance and Cooperation that Strengthen the Bilateral Relationship

Mexico’s consulates provide assistance to U.S. citizens, offering guidance on travel to Mexico, for both tourism and business, as well as visas for investors and students. According to official data from the Government of Mexico, more than 14 million U.S. tourists traveled to Mexico in 2025, reflecting the strength and depth of the ties between the two nations.

In addition, the consular network serves the Mexican community residing in the United States by issuing documents such as passports, powers of attorney, and civil registry records. In 2025, 1,295,181 Mexican passports were issued in U.S. territory, along with specialized services in health, financial education, and support for vulnerable groups, benefiting both Mexican nationals and the communities where they live.

All consular actions are governed by the Vienna Convention and are carried out with full respect for the sovereignty and laws of the United States. Mexico maintains strict political neutrality, focusing exclusively on consular assistance and administrative functions. This professional approach has made it possible to build relationships of trust with U.S. authorities and communities at all levels of government.

Bilateral cooperation includes ongoing technical coordination with the Department of State, the Department of Homeland Security, and other federal agencies, always within the applicable legal framework. Mexico reaffirms its commitment to operating a responsible, lawful consular network aligned with international law, prioritizing service and protection for both U.S. citizens in Mexico and Mexican nationals in the United States.
