Free Mexican Document Assistance Available This Week at Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar’s Office

Beginning on Thursday, September 25, through Saturday, September 27, Cook County Commissioner Frank Aguilar will provide free Mexican document assistance.

The assistance will be available at the Aguilar’s District Office, 7833 Ogden Avenue, Lyons, Illinois.

A range of services will be offered free of charge, Aguilar said.

This service is open to community members who need guidance with Mexican documentation, including:

Amending or issuing birth certificates without having to travel to Mexico
Support for families who cannot travel to Mexico to obtain required records
Guidance on documentation needed as a first step for children to obtain Mexican nationality

“The Mexican community has contributed so much to the culture and economy of our county and nation,” said Commissioner Aguilar.

“We as elected officials owe it to this community to support them, to help them travel between Mexico and the United States, and to ensure that this process is legal and safe. I strongly encourage interested constituents to attend these workshops.”

All services are provided free of charge by trained personnel, helping families ensure their paperwork is in order and accessible.

A press conference will be held on Thursday, September 25, at 6:30 p.m. at Commissioner Aguilar’s office to highlight this important community resource.

For more information, please visit the office during service hours or contact the Commissioner’s District Office directly at 312.603.4735 or through email at [email protected]
