The Consulate General of Mexico in Raleigh will hold a mobile consulate in Asheville on Friday, October 25th and Saturday, October 26th, with the goal of bringing essential services to the Mexican community in western North Carolina.
During the two days, you can process passports, consular registrations, credentials from the National Electoral Institute (INE) and dual citizenship records.
Appointments are free, in-person, and mandatory. Those who schedule appointments will receive a confirmation with a QR code containing the exact address where the appointment will be provided.
Additionally, the Mexican consulate reminded the community that "no agent or intermediary is required, and any attempt to charge for an appointment is fraudulent."
