It seems to me, judging from the public notices and my private emails with the consul office, that the US Consul in Los Cabos, Baja Sur is having personnel problems and cannot offer the normal services consistently. I hope to call them next week and find out the full story and to discover how we are supposed to renew passports if they cannot accept the forms. Until then, here is yet another public notice courtesy of BPE:

The U.S. Consular Agency in Los Cabos is pleased to announce that we will be open to the public by appointment on April 10, 11, and 12 to process applications for U.S. passports and consular reports of birth abroad, and to provide notarial services. A consular officer from the U.S. Consulate General in Tijuana will be present to provide these services. If you would like to make an appointment, please call 624-143-3566. The U.S. Consular Agency continues to provide daily assistance to U.S. citizens who require emergency services. 
In addition, a town hall meeting for U.S. citizens will be held on April 10, at 6:00 p.m. at the Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort on Carretera Transpeninsular. Mr. Bill Whitaker, Chief of American Citizens Services at the U.S. Consulate General in Tijuana will address issues of interest to the American community. He will also discuss the roles of both the Consular Agency and the Consulate. 

The Consular Agency is currently unable to provide routine passport and notarial services outside of these dates, but will announce future opportunities as they arise. In the interim, please call 624-143-3566 with questions or to add your name to the waiting list.  The Consular Agency is located at:
