What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Poland and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Polish citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
Closing days
Honorary consuls set their own office hours; the honorary consulate is usually closed on Mexico’s mandatory rest days under Article 74 of the Federal Labour Law and may also close on public holidays of Poland.
Emergency assistance
In Mexico, dial 911 for the police, an ambulance or the fire service (GOV.UK travel advice). Mexican citizens who need consular help in Poland can contact the Embassy of Mexico in Warsaw, according to the SRE’s directory of Mexican missions abroad.
