Limited service, consulate San Miguel de Allende

[Doyle Phillips]

you can do all of the below at the consulate in San Miguel de Allende. Be prepared for a fairly long wait in the office after you wait at the window and i believe you get a Number there after telling the clerk what you want to do. About a year ago I renewed my passport in SMA. It was easy enough. Took about 2 weeks and you pickup the new passport at a delivery office near Mega.
