Disclaimer (or whatever it is, "ducked ):
pure This was my experience doing the procedure and I am not affiliated with or committed or threatened by the SRE
the record, that this story only applies to where, when you go directly to Step building in Tlatelolco in Mexico City, which is the head honcho of the issuance of passports. The sole purpose of this chronicle is to help those who are having the procedure for the first time (and if possible, renewals) from reaching the lela and adventure as it happened to me.
Warned all.
--- It was a ratote he wanted to get the passport so it could offer, and now I'm going to make a big trip out is no longer a " to see " to be "I need . "
A quick search led me to the SRE page. where is the watchword of the requirements for the passport as his case and the steps to make the appointment. The first thing I got lazy is to see to make online appointment was necessary to "register " somewhere, and feared it was a mailing list the government, but laziness and / or need led me to enroll and then choose where I wanted to do Submit and by a calendar date of my appointment. Apparently it is rather an internal control, because I never received anything more than my confirmation and details of day he had chosen to introduce myself. Preferably PRINT this page or copy the citation number that came in the confirmation that they ask .
A friend who made an appointment by telephone said that they ask book, the module which will do the procedure, and you get to choose the dates and times. At the end you get your appointment number, and I can not stress enough how important it is notes and take it that day .
Another friend said it was not necessary to make an appointment, only to arrive early enough, but as I explain below apparently not.
The next step is to pay the amount of processing. Because of the complications that had a friend with an internet payment ( that are irrelevant to mention ) did not want to pay online, so I printed the leaf help to stop payment (In almost all banks) and rushed to pay the bank that is here below. When I give the receipt WELL save it, you will need.
So for this step because we have:
- The number of appointment (Printed or targeted)
- The
- receipt papers they need for processing (usually birth certificates and identification original and two copies)
- At least two passport photos (yes, needed)
- A black pen ( BLACK, not blue)
Speaking of the record, I did the test but as are only now seems to accept the new record ( those with the image of the Angel and is a certified copy green), so that they lined up in Arcos de Belen or civil registration of confidence. Yes, take out a lot because in the passport that will not return .
TIP THAT DOES NOT COME IN ANY SIDE (Jijos of your ...) : Inside the offices of Tlatelolco is a sign that says " photographs are not accepted back shiny finish." WATER with this, not going to be that they are merely going to bounce around.
Now comes the good, the day of the event.
I came to the building with all my papers in a plastic folder to 9:15 . In the corner is a bad photo studio located to keep in mind just in case. Outside the gate of the building there are many people made that was being directed by a woman who seemingly does everything: It gave indications selling black feathers and, more importantly, resolves doubts. As I arrived and saw many people, which I was raised sheep but the girl who came behind me was more clever (or more nerves) and asked if I was in line for appointments. I had not thought about it and I began to get nervous when the lady of the feathers and answered questions no, that those who came by appointment went straight to the bars showing the number of appointment and that this row was because if they did not bring ( What did I tell? ).
We run it and teach it cites the number of poly gate, let us move to a row within the facility, which was less than six people. There, two employees are the first filter: I wonder what process will you do, you checked that you bring the necessary documents and will bounce if something is missing. That's where I saw little sign of the photos and reviews them in the act, but everything was fine.
I reviewed the papers and asking me to pass through the detector which are at the entrance. Leave it in the little tray my keys and all metal, and my bag goes through the detector but I bounce ... Tupperware by food. Poli
: Young can not spend with their Tupperware. Can not pass food or drink [Eye ]
Toño: "Although they are closed? Poli
: not matter. If you like, eat them out here and then move
Toño: I can not cop, is the food. Did I can instruct my bag or leave it here in the post? Employee
revisadocumentos: can not leave anything to officers, much less leave it out here, passing the cleaning lady and takes all [ ! ]
Toño: And then what do I do? Do I lose my appointment?
Employee: Well maybe, but you can not go through that.
Encárgueselo someone Toño: I come alone, Who commissioned it?
Employee: Well someone out there, officer or ask
door I run to the door and asked the cop who is I can leave my backpack with chicken salad prohibited. What Deus ex machina comes the lady of the doubt and I say "Leave it commissioned Dona [...] taxi booth in the corner. taxis is the site of the secretariat, is safe and nothing happens. "
Sensing that was not the first to whom this happened, and that it is a mafia, I ran to the corner with the mentioned lady and I ordered my bag. There were two there, so apparently there was such a problem. What is certain is that while I trained the first time and now people walk left had grown twice. Blessed event.
returned and I no longer formed, I went straight to the detector and then to the Hall of passports.
Inside the building, on one side of the room, there is a bank minisucursal surely pay more for emergency procedures for employees to check their balance. Anyway, I was raised in the small row that is to get to the reception room, where you review the documents for the second time and give you the passport application form to fill it with black pen. There is a fact that I did not know how to fill time, and then gave me the inspiration: The place of birth. Fear not, comes in the birth certificate ( duh! ). Also, eye, Take away their CURP noted that the need in the way . For these dates and all should have, but if not, "take your RFC. Filled
data, go back to the reception, do a little paperwork and they send you to a cubicle of receipt of documents (or get a stunt like the deli department to wait their turn, as the number of people) where I review all for the third time, but here we are left with your Tambach of leaves, stick the photos where it belongs, and ask you to print the tracks of your indexes on a leaf.
Inked fingers, comes the tedious part of the process. They ask you to pass into a small room attached to and wait your turn for you to take a digital photo. Waiting on
the room can be very distressing. Do not wait by the fact itself, if not for the shifts that are calling are not serialized, ie they can pass 100, then 85 and then 92.
Anyway, after learning and plan weekend the couple later and naturalized as the girl behind the did not so tired to get his IFE was my turn to go to the cubicle where I would take photo.
asked me to check my data to see that there was no error, sign the Consent and sit straight so I took the photo. He then sent me once ooootra wait a bit annex to the room that my passport was ready.
not cuanto tiempo pasó, la verdad, pero finalmente después de lo que me pareció una eternidad me llamaron para recoger mi pasaporte. Firmé dos hojas de recibido, y me dieron mi librito con una foto digital con holograma muy posona en la contratapa. El trámite estaba hecho.
Salí del edificio y fui por mi morral, que seguía ahí con todo y tuppers y iPod. Pregunté si se debía algo y me respondieron con el siempre ambiguo " lo que guste ". Gusté darle diez pesos y, por primera vez en la mañana, le di una ojeada al reloj.
10:37 . El trámite completo para obtener el pasaporte había durado, con todo y la tragedia del morral, una hora y quarter. I wish it were for all the paperwork.
But this is missing the second part, when you finish the whole show let me narrate the process Morrocotudo the U.S. visa for .
Stay tuned.
