Embassy of the United States

After decades of being located on the historic Paseo de la Reforma, the Embassy of the United States in Mexico has made a monumental leap into the future by inaugurating its colossal new headquarters in the Irrigación neighborhood, just a few steps from the modern Nuevo Polanco area. This impressive avant-garde complex is not only a prodigio of sustainable architecture and international security, but it represents one of the largest diplomatic missions on the planet, symbolizing the inseparable historical, commercial, and cultural relationship that defines both nations.

The volume of Mexican travelers crossing the border for tourism, studies, shopping, or business is unparalleled. For this reason, the visa section of this new headquarters has been designed to optimize massive flows of attention, expediting procedures and interviews for tourist (B1/B2), work, or academic exchange visas. Although demand is high, the facilities now offer extensive covered waiting areas and technological systems that improve the applicant’s experience from the moment of entry.

Of course, for the immense community of United States citizens and tourists who reside in or visit Mexico City, the American Citizen Services (ACS) department is a vital and highly efficient resource. Here they can manage everything from reports of birth abroad and passport renewals, to requesting extremely urgent consular assistance in the face of legal problems or loss of medical documents, guaranteeing the protection of their nationals 24 hours a day.

The embassy also operates as a giant of cultural exchange through the iconic Benjamin Franklin Library and various public diplomacy programs. It constantly sponsors conferences, leadership exchanges, and artistic exhibitions in the capital. For any procedure or visit to this facility, it is necessary to enter its web portal to schedule appointments, as access to the complex without prior authorization is restricted.
