How do I obtain a Mexican matrícula consular?

If you are a Mexican citizen and wish to obtain a matrícula consular (also known as a Mexican Matrícula Consular de Alta Seguridad, or a Mexican CID card), read the Mexican embassy's instruction sheet on obtaining a matrícula.

The cost for obtaining a matrícula consular is $27. You will also need to present proof of Mexican nationality, proof of identity and proof of local address. The instruction sheet lists acceptable forms of proof for each category.
