Visiting the Honorary Consul
The Dutch government states that visits are by appointment only.
Contact Honorary Consul Inge Maria Heutinck in advance using the official telephone number or government contact channel. Explain your enquiry and confirm the current meeting arrangements before travelling.
A published address does not mean that the office accepts walk-in visitors or offers regular passport or visa application services.
Before travelling: confirm the exact meeting address directly with the honorary consul. The address published in the contact details differs from the location shown in the government page’s map section, so no street-level map is reproduced here.

About
About the Dutch Honorary Consulate in Guadalajara
Inge Maria Heutinck is identified by the Dutch government as the Honorary Consul of the Netherlands in Guadalajara.
Honorary consuls are local representatives who help maintain connections between the Netherlands and communities, businesses, authorities and institutions in other countries.
Their work may involve supporting trade and investment contacts, facilitating appropriate institutional relationships and assisting Dutch nationals in certain circumstances.
Honorary representation complements the activities of the Embassy of the Netherlands in Mexico City, which remains responsible for formal diplomatic and consular procedures.
Guadalajara and Dutch-Mexican Economic Relations
Guadalajara is an established industrial and commercial centre with an important role in Mexico’s technology sector.
The city and its surrounding metropolitan area are associated with electronics, software development, advanced manufacturing and business services.
These industries can offer opportunities for cooperation involving Dutch and Mexican companies, research organisations and universities.
Relevant fields may include digital innovation, high-tech manufacturing, logistics, sustainable industrial development and technology-related entrepreneurship.
Dutch companies and institutions with an interest in Jalisco may also benefit from contacts with local business associations and public-sector organisations.
The honorary consul can serve as a local representative contact for suitable enquiries. Specific introductions, meetings or other activities should be discussed with the honorary consul or embassy.
Education, Innovation and Research
Guadalajara has a substantial higher education and research environment, including universities and institutions active in engineering, technology and business.
Academic cooperation between the Netherlands and Mexico can include student exchanges, collaborative research and institutional partnerships.
Potential areas of shared interest include sustainable production, clean technologies, water management, digital transformation and applied research.
The region’s combination of industrial activity and higher education can make it relevant to organisations seeking international research or innovation partnerships.
Cultural and Community Connections
Guadalajara is also an important cultural centre with international events, creative industries and a long history of regional commerce.
The honorary consul provides a Dutch representative contact within this environment and may help maintain communication with Dutch nationals and organisations based in the area.
However, the honorary consul does not replace the embassy for passport applications, identity cards, visas, nationality decisions or official certificates.
Consular Services
Dutch Passport, Identity Card and Consular Services in Guadalajara
The Dutch Honorary Consulate in Guadalajara does not provide routine passport, identity card or visa application services.
Dutch citizens living in Guadalajara, Zapopan and elsewhere in Jalisco should follow the official Mexico-specific procedures for Dutch travel documents.
Dutch Passports and Identity Cards
The Embassy of the Netherlands in Mexico City is a regular application location for Dutch passports and identity cards, subject to appointment availability.
Temporary Regional Application Sessions
Embassy teams may organise temporary passport application sessions in Guadalajara. These are separate from the honorary consul’s regular activities.
Emergency Travel Documents
Emergency document applications are assessed through the authorised Dutch embassy procedure if a passport or identity card is lost or stolen.
Applying for a Dutch Passport or Identity Card in Mexico
Residents of Guadalajara who need a Dutch passport or identity card should begin with the official NetherlandsWorldwide application guide for Mexico.
Create a personal checklist for each application. The checklist shows which supporting documents are necessary based on the applicant’s individual circumstances.
Separate checklists are required when multiple family members are applying, including children.
Review the Mexico-specific requirements for legal residence, apostilles and translations before making an appointment.
Proof of Legal Residence in Mexico
Applicants must demonstrate that they are legally resident in Mexico.
According to the official procedure, acceptable evidence may include:
- A valid visa with the required supporting documents.
- A valid Mexican residence permit.
- For applicants who also have Mexican nationality, a valid Mexican passport, Mexican identity card or voter registration card (credencial para votar INE).
For a child’s first Dutch passport or identity card, the child’s birth certificate can be used as evidence under the published procedure.
Always follow the personal checklist because requirements depend on the applicant’s circumstances.
Apostilles for Mexican Certificates
Mexican birth certificates and marriage certificates submitted for the Dutch passport or identity card procedure must be legalised with an apostille.
An apostille is a form of authentication for the use of public documents abroad.
Documents originating from another country may be subject to different legalisation rules.
Check the official requirements before obtaining or translating documents.
Translations of Spanish-Language Documents
Documents written in Dutch, English, German or French can be submitted without translation solely because of their language.
Documents written in Spanish or another language outside those four languages should be translated by a sworn translator.
When a document requires an apostille, ensure that the legalisation and translation arrangements satisfy the personal checklist.
Preparing these records correctly before an appointment can help prevent unnecessary delays.
Passport and ID Card Appointments in Mexico City
Dutch citizens living in Guadalajara can apply for passports or identity cards at the Embassy of the Netherlands in Mexico City by appointment.
Once all documents are ready, book an appointment using the official government application instructions.
If you are applying for both a passport and an identity card, separate appointments must be made.
All applicants must attend in person, including children.
Eligible Dutch citizens living abroad may also apply at a participating border municipality in the Netherlands.
Temporary Passport Applications in Guadalajara
NetherlandsWorldwide has announced a temporary embassy application visit to Guadalajara on 5 November 2026.
This is a time-limited government service and not a regular passport application service operated by the honorary consul.
Applicants wishing to use the regional session should first create their personal document checklist and prepare the necessary records.
The official application guide provides a registration contact and explains how appointment confirmations are issued.
An additional fee of €26.85 per passport or identity card application applies to this regional service.
Appointment availability and future regional visits may change. Consult the official Mexico application guide before making plans.
Regional application notice: the Guadalajara session scheduled for 5 November 2026 is temporary. Applicants must register through the government procedure and must not assume that passports can be requested at the honorary consul’s office on other dates.
Documents to Bring to an Appointment
The personal checklist determines the complete document requirements. Depending on the applicant’s situation, documents may include:
- A completed, printed and signed passport or identity card application form.
- The printed personal document checklist.
- Current and expired Dutch and foreign passports and identity cards.
- Acceptable evidence of legal residence in Mexico.
- Mexican birth or marriage certificates bearing an apostille, where required.
- Sworn translations of Spanish-language supporting documents.
- Parental or guardian consent documents when applicable.
Applicants should bring all required originals and any printed documentation identified in their checklist.
If supporting documents are missing, the application may not be accepted.
Passport Applications for Children
Children must attend their passport or identity card application appointments in person.
Where a required parent or guardian cannot attend, a completed consent declaration and a dated, signed copy of that person’s passport or identity card may be necessary.
The specific consent requirements depend on the applicant’s age and the type of document requested.
Check the official personal checklist before attending.
Keeping Your Existing Dutch Passport
Applicants who need their current passport or identity card while a replacement is being processed may be able to keep it temporarily.
When collecting a new document in person, the old document must be handed in.
When arranging passport delivery, the old document must first be sent to the embassy before the replacement is dispatched.
Applicants with a valid visa or residence permit in their old passport should inform embassy staff if they need the relevant pages preserved.
Collecting a New Passport or Identity Card
Applicants receive an email when their new Dutch passport or identity card is ready.
The published collection periods at the embassy in Mexico City are:
- Monday to Thursday: 14:00–16:00.
- Friday: 09:00–12:00.
No separate collection appointment is normally required, but applicants should check embassy closure dates before visiting.
The new document must be collected or arranged for delivery within three months after the notification. Otherwise, it will be destroyed.
DHL Delivery of a Dutch Passport
The official Mexico procedure allows eligible new Dutch passports to be sent using a prepaid DHL shipping label.
The label must be provided during the application process and must remain valid for the necessary period.
Applicants who arrange passport delivery should follow the embassy’s instructions concerning their previous document.
A new Dutch identity card cannot be delivered by post under the published Mexico procedure and must be collected at the embassy in Mexico City.
Postal passport delivery may reduce the need for another journey after an application, but it does not remove the requirement to attend the original application appointment in person.

Contacting the Dutch Embassy in Mexico City
For emergency travel document applications, use the official government instructions and contact the embassy’s consular department:
Include your current location, a reachable telephone number and the exact details of your intended journey.
Attach the required documents directly to the email rather than using links to external cloud-storage services.
The embassy reviews submitted documents and normally responds within three business days. Additional information may be required.
Emergency document applications are not processed during weekend embassy closures.
After the necessary information has been received, the embassy will explain when and where the applicant must appear.
Emergency Travel Document Types
The embassy determines which emergency travel document is appropriate for the journey.
Depending on the circumstances, this may be a laissez-passer or a passport. Applicants cannot select the document type themselves.
Do not assume that the honorary consul in Guadalajara can issue an emergency passport or provide a replacement document immediately.
A passport or identity card officially reported lost or stolen becomes invalid even if later recovered.
Urgent consular assistance: contact the Embassy of the Netherlands in Mexico City at +52 55 1105 6550 or NetherlandsWorldwide at +31 247 247 247. Emergency travel document applications must follow the official embassy procedure.
