Closest is not always correct
Each consulate covers a jurisdiction: a defined group of U.S. states assigned by the home country.
You must use the office covering your state of residence — even if a different consulate is geographically closer.
Example. Mexican Consulate in Houston serves Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas. If you live in New Mexico, you go to Albuquerque, not Houston.
This rule applies to large networks: Mexico, India, Philippines, Brazil, Germany, France. Essential for biometrics, visas, civil registration, emergencies.
Each consulate’s page in this directory lists its jurisdiction. Check it before booking.
