- The Foreign Ministry reports that beginning on June 1 there will be changes to the areas served by Mexico's consulates in New York, Boston, Chicago, Indianapolis, Miami, Orlando, Dallas, Albuquerque, Las Vegas and Boise
- The new consular map will result in better service for Mexicans in the U.S. and consular services of better quality
As part of the improvements being made to Mexico's consular network as announced by Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard on October 25, 2021, the Foreign Ministry reports that beginning on June 1, the areas served by ten of Mexico's consulates in the United States will be redrawn. These changes are being made in order to provide more efficient consular services, increase the number of appointments available, reduce the distance that Mexicans need to travel for consular services, and strengthen the dialogue with state and local authorities and the Mexican community.
The changes are as follows:
1. All of the counties in the state of Connecticut currently served by the consulate in New York will now be served by the consulate in Boston.
2. The counties in Illinois currently served by the Mexican consulate in Indianapolis will now be served by the Mexican consulate in Chicago.
3. The county of Elko, Nevada, currently served by the Mexican consulate in Boise will now be served by the consulate in Las Vegas.
4. The counties of De Soto, Hardee, Highlands, Manatee and Sarasota in Southwest Florida that are currently served by the Mexican consulate in Orlando will now be served by the consulate in Miami.
5. The 38 counties in North Texas will no longer be served by the Mexican consulate in Dallas, but rather by the Mexican consulate in Albuquerque.
The Foreign Ministry continues to improve the quality and availability of the consular services it offers to all Mexicans abroad. It can be contacted at miconsulado@sre.gob.mx with any comments or questions.
