Renewing Mexican Passport???

Is it the same process as when you get the fist one???

Like do you still have to take the original and copy of your birth certificate plus proof of residence, etc???

I know we need it to have at least 6 months on it when we go to our appointment and get the visa stamped. Hubbys passport expires June 30th unfortunately.

I would call your Mexiican Consulate and see what you can do! My hubby got the 5 year passport! I would suggest that you get that!

I need to know that to for sister and brother in law. there passports expired in June! I don't know if you need all the same stuff or not!

Just call your local Mexican consulate and someone will help you!

It's very likely that, just like in Mexico, each location has its own requirements.

My husband renewed his in 07 in Chicago, and he needed his old passport, an original BC which the consulate kept of course, plus some other forms of ID including his Matricula, plus the fee, it was relatively insane. It was basically all the same stuff you would need if you were getting a brand new one. But maybe other consulates are different.

Then this year he renewed it AGAIN in Mexico (he hated the consular-issued one, it was REALLY crappy). They required all the same stuff, except his credencial elector instead of Matricula obviously.

But yes, check with your local consulate to find out exactly what they need for a canje.

I think you can check on line, when we did it in 2005 I remember finding out everything online look under Mexican Consulates in the US, I'm guessing that's what it was. It had on there what you will need.
