General Information

The U.S. Consulate General in Tijuana processes applications for U.S. citizens who live in Baja California.

You must make an appointment for your application to be processed.

While you will have your interview at the Consulate in Tijuana, your passport will be printed in New Hampshire. Normally, passports are mailed to the Consulate for delivery two to three weeks after the date of approval.

In an emergency, a consular officer can usually issue a replacement passport within 24 hours. However, the replacement passport will be limited in duration, and you will have to replace it with a full validity passport before traveling again.
