Supporters of a permanent Mexican Consulate in Oklahoma are calling on the community to take action.
Scissortail Community Development Corporation President Robert Ruiz said opening a Mexican consulate in Oklahoma City would make a big difference for Mexican citizens who are trying to conduct daily business.
Forms of identification, legal matters, property and employment documents, and more are services provided by a foreign consulate.
Some people are having to drive to the nearest Mexican Consulate, which is in Little Rock, Arkansas, to appear in person to get legal forms of identification required to apply for bank accounts or lines of credit.
