I lost my only original, however I have a notarized copy. I need the original to get my Mexican passport. Thank youHow long does it take to get a replacement birth certificate through the Mexican consulate office in AZ?Normally the Mexican consulate cannot get you a replacement birth certificate. You have to obtain it through the local municipality that originally issued it. The easiest way to do this is either have family/friends/contacts in your birth city get one for you and send it, or use a third-party service like ActaExpress to obtain it for you at a certain fee. The time it takes varies depending on how hard it is to secure one from local authorities in Mexico. However, generally the services can get it done fast because they already know how the system works.
You will probably want to get a couple copies while you're at it, because the Mexican consulate keeps the original you give them when you apply for the passport.
