I never bothered with them for years, the company I worked for got them for me. I then got my first personal one at the Consulate in Yuma in 2 hours, no good guy letters, no Doctors letters, I already had bank letter from Texas bank in spanish and notarized by Texas secretary of state. Was told to register in San Felipe with a copy of my property lease. When I arrived at the San Felipe office I was told it was all wrong including the pictures and I would have to start over and pay someone to help me. I drove back to Yuma and went back to the Consul ( In person himself) I told him that San Felipe said he did shoddy work and it was no good and I wanted my $98 back!! WOW !! In seconds he had 3 cell phone calls going and his secretary on 2 more and some of the younger secretarys were covering their ears and blushing!! He informed me of his seniorty to the persons at San Felipe and personal freindship with Presidente Fox and that his daughter was a US Marine and his son was a cadet at Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy and for me to go back to San Felipe and present the documents again and gave me his personal cell phone number to call if all was not smiles and kowtows.
I will be going back soon for my fourth one since then and have had nothing but the most courteous efficent fast service, I don't think the same people are still there, they seem to change often. With San Felipe at least you do not have to have funds in a Mexican bank but do have to have a bank letter from your stateside banks in spanish and notarized by the Secretary of that state, my bank does it automaticly at no charge, the state charges $10.00. Every office has different rules!!!

I think the previous wirter is correct. The minimum bank balance is supposed to be $1000.00 for a single person but I have gotten away with as little as $400.00 for a renewal in the past. I guess it just depends..................
