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).

It is located right on the border with Brownsville, Texas and is separated by the Rio Grande River which serves as the border between the U.S. and Mexico. Its proximity to the U.S. makes this U.S. Consulate a great choice for the U.S. Visa stamping in Mexico!

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.
