CITIZENSHIP SERVICES

Notarials and Authentications


Notarial services are performed on a walk-in basis at the Passport and Citizenship Unit between 8:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., (01-55) 5080-2000, Ext. 4535.

Please bring the documents to be notarized, proof of identity such as a passport or driver's license, and cash in U.S. dollars or the Mexican equivalent as follows: US$30.00, for the first seal, and US$20.00 for each additional seal of each transaction. There is no fee to notarize U.S. Government documents.

You must arrange for your own witnesses, if necessary. The Embassy can only notarize signatures, and cannot vouch for the veracity of the content or the authenticity of a notarized document.

Authentications/apostilles:

The U.S. Embassy and its consulates do not issue apostilles. An apostille must be obtained from either the state or federal authority in which the U.S. document was issued. Please click on the following link for apostille information for documents originating in the U.S.:
