A travel document is recognized by the member countries of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), airlines, and Mexican and foreign authorities. Just like a birth certificate or voter ID, the passport is an official document that proves nationality and identity within Mexico. The government has simplified the steps for applicants, contrary to what may be thought about the processing process. You will need to have a valid passport issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) of the Government of Mexico, every Mexican who wishes to travel abroad, regardless of the destination and regardless of the access requirements of each country.

To initiate the process of applying for a Mexican passport, it is imperative to schedule an appointment for individualized assistance at any of the SRE branches across the nation. The appointment, along with the requisite documents, must be attended at the designated SRE delegation once it is registered. Creating an access account with a personal email is sufficient. The applicant can arrange this visit by calling the phone number 55 893 2427 during the working hours from 8:00 a.M. To 8:00 p.M., Or by visiting the website https://citas.Sre.Gob.Mx/.
