Mexican Consulate at YWCA
Matricula consular cards and passports will be distributed through the Mexican Consulate at YWCA Lake County's Computer Training Center inside Belvidere Mall today through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. No appointment is necessary.

The Matricula Consular card is a form of identification issued by the Mexican government to individuals who were born in Mexico or who are citizens of Mexico regardless of their American immigration status. The card provides a secure form of identification that includes a person's name, address and place of origin in Mexico. Financial institutions are accepting Matricula to open checking or savings accounts and for mortgages.

The cost for Matricula is $27. Passports are $32 for one year and $84 for five years. Checks and credit cards will not be accepted. Only 350 people will be served each day. Call the Mexican Consulate at (312) 738-2383 for requirements or pick up a flier at the YWCA, 2105 Belvidere Road in Waukegan.
