Message for U.S. Citizens – U.S. Embassy Mexico City, Mexico (April 9, 2020) 

Location:  Mexico 
 

Event:  Limited Passport Operations  (April 9, 2020)

The U.S. Mission in Mexico suspended routine passport and other consular services March 19 in light of COVID-19.  If your passport is expired or is going to expire soon and you have imminent travel plans to the United States, please contact the embassy or nearest consulate to apply for an emergency passport ONLY.  To schedule an appointment, please call 55-8526-2561 or visit our website.

Due to reduced operations at U.S. domestic facilities effective April 2, if you have previously applied for a passport or citizenship service, such as a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA), you should expect significant delays receiving your documents.  If you are in this situation and have imminent travel planned, please contact us for an emergency passport.  As a reminder, U.S. citizen children do not require a CRBA to qualify for an emergency passport.
Please enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) and visit the Embassy’s COVID-19 webpage for up-to-date information on COVID-19 and the status of U.S. consular operations in Mexico.
