Nancy Rodriguez, an operator with the Mexican Consulate of Omaha, Neb. said, \u201cIn this case because of the new law, everyone [non-U.S. citizens that will travel out of the country] will need a passport. You will need a birth certificate.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A few questions arise on whether a matricula card or passport from the Mexican government is valid or even needed. \u201cThe matricula is for identification and the Mexican passport is for when you want to travel and go to Mexico. The passport is also to return [to the United States].\u201d Rodriguez said.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Mexican Consulate of Omaha now makes it obligatory to call 1-877-MEXITEL (1-877-639-4835) to obtain an appointment and transmit the matricula consular and passport.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some people are not able to travel to where the Mexican consulates of Chicago, Omaha, and others are located. They rely on the consulates coming through thru the mobile consulate better known as \u201cconsulado mobil.\u201d The new consulate law does not affect mobile consulates. \u201cYou need an appointment with the consulate but we are not in charge of the mobile consulates.\u201d Nancy Rodriguez of the Mexican Consulate said. Rodriguez highly recommends that you call 1-877-MEXITEL (1-877-639-4835) for more specific information.<\/p>\n<div id=\"holaa-562587335\" class=\"holaa-after-content\" style=\"margin-top: 2px;margin-bottom: 2px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"holaa-adlabel\">Advertisements<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/progressiowa.org\/2023\/08\/take-action-with-progress-iowa\/?utm_source=news&#038;utm_medium=site&#038;utm_campaign=2026&#038;utm_id=News\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Progress Iowa Spanish 300&#215;250\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Progress-Iowa-Spanish-300x250-1.png\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"250\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a result of a new law that takes effect on Jan. 23 not only are U.S. citizens affected on the passport issue but United States residents and nationals from [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":273,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"es","enabled_languages":["en","es"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"es":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
