The High Security Consular Registration Certificate is the public document issued by the Mexican Representations in the United States of America and Canada at the request of a Mexican and has a duration of five years. It is a document proving nationality and identity that certifies that the holder is domiciled and registered within the constituency of the Representation of Mexico Abroad that issued it.

Every Mexican has the right to be registered in the registry by the consular office that corresponds to his or her domicile, regardless of his or her immigration status in the country in which he or she is located.

The Consular Matriculation does not verify or replace the foreign document of legal stay in a country.

The consular registration certificate is a document that fulfills census and protection purposes that are very useful for the Mexican government. Furthermore, it has the advantage of being accepted by a large number of private and official institutions as an identity document, as proof of nationality, and as proof of residence in a given consular district.
