Common consular services

Hispanic-country consulates in the US typically offer the services below. Specifics vary by country and by consulate — confirm on the official website before scheduling:

  • Passport renewal and new issuance (fees vary by country, roughly $50-$209 — see each country’s passport guide for the verified figure)
  • Consular ID — issued by some countries’ consulates (Mexico’s matrícula consular is the most widely recognized; fees vary by country); accepted by many US banks for ITIN account opening and some state DMVs for driver license without SSN)
  • Birth registration of US-born children (dual nationality; the fee varies by country — confirm with the consulate)
  • Powers of attorney for property/business matters in the home country
  • Document apostille and certification (see also US apostille process)
  • Voting from abroad when applicable (each country sets its own rules)
  • Consular protection in emergencies, hospitalizations, arrests, or deaths

Privacy and confidentiality

Consulates are not part of US immigration enforcement; we found no official source on whether or how a consulate shares its users’ records with US agencies, so we make no claim either way. Be precise about what the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963) does: it makes consular premises and archives inviolable against the receiving State, so US authorities cannot enter the consular working areas or seize consular files without consent. It does not stop a consulate from disclosing information voluntarily, and it is not a privacy promise made to you. Bring only the documents the procedure requires. Your immigration status in the US does not affect your right to consular services as a citizen of your home country.
