IMPORTANT INFORMATION
As of February 1, 2008, all appointments for passports and reports of birth abroad (CRBAs) at U.S. Consulate General Tijuana must be made online. Consulate staff will no longer make appointments by phone or in person. We are making this change in order to make staff available for more appointments each day, which will shorten the time required to process passports and CRBAs. (complete text)
Passports
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.
baja sur residents
U.S. citizens who live at the southern end of Baja California Sur may apply at the U.S. Consular Agency in Cabo San Lucas. Click here for the Consular Agency contact information.
If you apply at the Consular Agency, you must still comply with all the requirements listed on this site.
