Keeping the Mexican passport up to date is a basic requirement for international travel to almost any country, in addition to being essential for visa processing, whether for tourism or settlement purposes.

Sometimes, it may happen that the traveler has a valid visa, but their passport cannot be considered valid. This may be due to damage to the cover or pages, lack of free pages, or the six-month rule required by countries like the United States.
