The Mexican Consulate in Dallas is embarking on a mobile consulate initiative, bringing essential services directly to the community in Fort Worth from February 10 to 13. This service, known as the Consulado Sobre Ruedas, aims to cater to the needs of Mexican nationals who may find it challenging to access the consulate in person. Individuals wishing to take advantage of this opportunity need to schedule an appointment in advance to ensure they can receive the necessary services.

During this period, the mobile consulate will be located at the Federación de Clubes Zacatecanos, specifically at 4323 E Lancaster Ave, Fort Worth. The available services include passport applications, issuance of consular identification cards, and voter credentials (INE). With these mobile services, the Mexican government is making significant efforts to facilitate its citizens in the U.S., particularly those who may have barriers related to transportation or other accessibility issues.

This initiative underscores the commitment of the Mexican authorities to support their expatriate community consistently. By bringing consular services closer to where people live, it not only saves time but also fosters a sense of connection between the Mexican government and its citizens abroad. Ensuring that Mexicans in the U.S. have access to necessary documents reinforces their legal status and voting rights in their home country, thus contributing to community engagement and civic involvement.
