Mexico passport renewal in the United States

This guide to renewing a Mexican passport without leaving the US carries fees and appointment systems verified against official sources — not generic ranges.

Verified fees

ValidityFee (USD)
1 year (minors under 3 / protection cases)$44
3 years$101
6 years$137
10 years$209

Adults 60 and older pay half of any validity tier. Emergency issuance costs the ordinary fee plus 30%. Fees from the official 2026 consular tariff (in force from January 1, 2026, Los Angeles consulate table). Payment methods are set by each consulate: as of 2026-10-03 New York takes cash or credit/debit card (since November 1, 2022), Los Angeles takes cash in US dollars, Visa or Mastercard debit/credit cards, or money order, and Chicago takes cash or Visa/Mastercard debit/credit cards.

How appointments actually work

Every Mexican consulate books passport appointments through MiConsulado (citas.sre.gob.mx) — one national system. You can also book by WhatsApp or phone at +1 (424) 309-0009 from the US or Canada.

Documents

  • The passport you are renewing. As of 2026-10-03 the New York consulate says a passport can be renewed when it expires, within the year before it expires, or when its pages run out, and that 1-year passports cannot be renewed; the SRE renewal list says the same about 1-year passports
  • If the passport you are renewing was issued before 1995 in Mexico or before 2007 abroad, proof of your nationality and identity as for a first passport (New York consulate and SRE renewal list)
  • No printed photos: the New York consulate says it takes a digital photo on site, and the SRE renewal list says you allow your biometrics (photo, fingerprints) and signature to be taken
  • Payment of the fee for the validity you choose

Delivery

As of 2026-10-03 the New York consulate says the passport and matrícula consular procedure takes about 1 hour. Ask your consulate when you will receive the passport.

US immigration documents are not on the requirement list

The requirement lists summarized above ask for home-country documents, not for US immigration papers; the passport follows from nationality. Consulates operate under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963). We found no official source on whether or how a consulate shares applicant data with US agencies, so we make no claim either way.
