How to Obtain a Mexican Passport for a Mexican National

To apply for a passport from outside your country of origin requires filing paperwork at the consulate closest to you. There are many Mexican consulates in the U.S. at which passport applicants may submit their documentation to an interviewer during a scheduled appointment. To request a Mexican passport from the U.S., you'll need proof of your Mexican citizenship, along with your Mexican identification documents. Whether you're trying to renew a Mexican passport or obtain a first-time Mexican passport, the process is the same.
