Locating a Missing Person in the United States
The U.S. Consulate Guadalajara is unable to assist you in finding people in the United States. You may wish to use on-line locator services, such as www.switchboard.com or www.anywho.com.
If you are looking for a person in the U.S. who is not an American citizen, you may wish to contact the Embassy or Consulate of the country of which the person is a citizen. For example, if you are looking for a Mexican citizen who you believe is in the United States, you should contact the Mexican Embassy in the U.S.
