From Mexico, the Embassy also works to strengthen Ireland's relationship with other countries of accreditation: Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Peru and Venezuela.

The Embassy works to promote and protect Irish interests in Mexico and other countries of accreditation, whether it is promoting Irish economic interests and working with partner governments or promoting Irish culture and working with Irish communities. The Embassy also provides a range of key consular services.

Consular services:

• Visas;
• Citizenship;
• Authentication of documents;
• Marriage and civil partnership

The Embassy can verify or certify Irish documents.

With a view to preventing identity theft and the circulation of falsified passports, there are additional safeguards for the passport application procedure for those adults seeking to replace a lost or stolen passport. From 17 January 2011, adult applicants in this category are required to submit the following additional evidence in support of their passport application:

• A completed and suitably witnessed passport application form and four photographs, (two of which must have the application form number written on the reverse and be signed by an approved witness);
• The Passport Service reserves the right to contact witnesses as required. Passport applicants should therefore note that where it is not possible to make contact with those witnessing applications, then it is likely that the application will be rejected.
• The long form birth certificate of the applicant and a civil marriage certificate, if appropriate, and evidence of entitlement to Irish citizenship, where applicable;
• Additional form of photo-identification; e.g. certified copy of a drivers licence, work ID; student card; social club membership; passport from other country etc.;
• Documentary evidence to show use of name, e.g. payslips; records of unemployment or disability payment; bank statement; college registration etc.; and
• Evidence of residency at the application address, e.g. utility bills; official correspondence from public or private sector etc.

Passport holders of Mexico do not need a visa to Ireland. Payments can only be made by bank transfer. The Embassy does not accept cash, credit or debit cards.
