Medical Exam Information

The date of your visa interview appointment is indicated in the letter that you received from the National Visa Center. However, you should be aware that it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to complete your medical examination BEFORE THAT DATE.  We suggest that you make arrangements for your medical examination at least FIVE (5) days before your interview appointment date.

Note:  Applicants ages two (2) to fourteen (14) must undergo the medical examination at least five (5) workdays before their scheduled interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City.  Failure to do so may result in processing delays or rescheduling of the initial appointment.  Children within this age range should be immunized at least four (4) weeks before their medical examination.

The only medical office authorized to perform medical examinations on behalf of the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City is:

Additional Guidance

• If you suffer from a chronic illness, have been treated for any venereal disease, or are under psychiatric care, please bring your medical file or have one forwarded to the doctor before your medical examination.
• If you take prescription medication, please have the prescription from your doctor with you on the day of the medical appointment.
• Applicants do not need to bring photos to the medical exam; they will be provided by the medical clinic.
• Any required DNA testing must be covered by the applicant. 
• The vaccination fee is separate from the cost of your required medical examinations.
• Because of space limitations, family members will not be permitted to accompany applicants into the clinic or the medical building; the only exception to this policy is the parents of adoptees.
