What to know about the Tucson consulate
Tucson's consulate moved to 5447 E 5th St, Suite 249, on August 28, 2023, so phone numbers on older websites belong to the previous office. It serves Arizona and New Mexico and has brought mobile consulates to Phoenix.
This office doesn't issue DUIs. The closest consulates that do are Las Vegas and Los Angeles, and only Los Angeles prints them the same day; from New Mexico, Aurora, Colorado, is another same-day option. For a renewal or replacement, use dui.sv/exterior ($55).
Arizona doesn't observe daylight saving time, so from March to November it runs an hour behind New Mexico. Factor that in if you drive over for an appointment.
