DOS: US Embassy Mexico Relocates – All Consular Services Moved to New Location
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City has officially begun operations at its new location as of November 24, 2025. All consular functions—including visa interviews and U.S. citizen services—are now conducted exclusively at the new embassy compound. The announcement, shared by the embassy through its official communication channels, includes updated address details and important guidance for visitors regarding on-site restrictions.
Key Points
- New Embassy Location: The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City is now operating at Presa Angostura 225, Colonia Irrigación, Alcaldía Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City, C.P. 11500. All appointments and walk-in services must be directed to this new address.
- Updated Visa Section Entrance: The dedicated entrance for the visa section is located at the intersection of Casa de la Moneda and Calzada Legaria. Visa applicants should ensure they arrive at the correct access point to avoid delays.
- Prohibited Items for Visitors: According to the embassy’s official X account, several items are not permitted inside the facility, including liquids, cellphones, electronic car keys, tablets, headphones, and smartwatches. Visitors will not find any storage, security locker, or parking facilities on-site, so they must plan accordingly.
What US Employers Need to Know
- Employee Travel Planning Should Reflect New Address: Any employees scheduled for visa appointments in Mexico City must be notified of the new embassy location to avoid missed interviews or delays.
- Restrictive Entry Rules May Impact Scheduling: The prohibition on electronic devices and lack of on-site storage may require employees to arrange secure off-site storage or travel without personal electronics. Employers should provide clear guidance to minimize complications.
- Updated Access Point for Visa Applicants: Because the visa section entrance is located separately from the main embassy entrance, employers assisting employees with travel should ensure they have precise directions.
With the relocation of the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, all consular activity has transitioned to a new, modern compound in Alcaldía Miguel Hidalgo. Travelers, visa applicants, and U.S. citizens seeking services must adjust to the updated address, new access points, and strict entry restrictions. Employers and individuals alike should prepare ahead of appointments to ensure smooth access and avoid disruptions.
