About the Consulate
Matamoros
The United States Consulate General in Matamoros, Mexico is America's oldest continuously active consular post. One of nine U.S. Consulates in Mexico, it serves a consular district comprised of the state of Tamaulipas, with the exception of a small portion northwest of the Rio Salado (U.S. Consulate Nuevo Laredo's district) and the municipalities of Tampico, Cd. Madero, and Altamira (U.S. Embassy Mexico's district).
A busy post with significant homeland security responsibilities, the Consulate's main functions are American Citizen Services, non-immigrant visa adjudication, logistical services and diplomatic representation.
