Consulate Directory

Consulates for 16 countries across the United States — address, phone, emergency line, the states each one covers, and the official portal for booking an appointment.

When you need your consulate

Your consulate is where you get the documents an immigration case runs on: a passport, a birth certificate, a national ID, a power of attorney, or an apostille. It is also who to call if a citizen of your country is detained. It cannot file anything with USCIS for you and cannot appear in immigration court — that is a separate job, and a different kind of lawyer.

A consulate represents your home country. It can issue the passport, birth certificate or power of attorney your case needs — it cannot file with USCIS or represent you in immigration court.

Mobile Consulates: What They Are and How to Use Them

A mobile consulate is a team from your country's consulate that travels for one or several days to a city with no permanent office. You can handle things like your passport or consular ID there without driving to the main consulate city. But they only offer the services announced for that specific date, so you need to confirm before you go.

How it works

  • Your country's consulate sets up a temporary service point, usually in a community center, church, or event hall, for one or several days.
  • Mexico calls it a 'consulado sobre ruedas' when it travels on weekdays and a 'jornada sabatina' when the home office opens an extra Saturday. Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador usually just call theirs a 'consulado móvil.'
  • The team follows the same system and the same rules as the permanent office, but only handles the procedures announced for that specific event, not everything the consulate normally does.
  • A mobile consulate does not replace the fixed consulate. Difficult cases, notarial powers of attorney, and civil registry corrections almost always still have to go through the main office.
  • Dates and cities change constantly because they depend on budget and staff availability, so never rely on an old flyer or last year's calendar.

How to find one near you

  • Check your country's official consulate website, in the 'avisos' or 'calendario' section (for example consulmex.sre.gob.mx, minex.gob.gt, sreci.gob.hn, or rree.gob.sv), for upcoming dates and cities.
  • Use your country's official appointment app or portal: MiConsulado and citas.sre.gob.mx for Mexico, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs appointment portal for El Salvador, or the consular services system for Honduras.
  • Follow the Facebook or X page of the consulate that covers your state, for example the Mexican Consulate in Orlando or the Guatemalan Consulate in Miami, since they usually post the announcements there first.
  • Call the permanent consulate that covers your area and ask directly when the next mobile consulate is coming to your city.
  • Local Spanish-language radio, newspapers and Facebook community groups in Florida often repost the official announcement when a mobile consulate is coming nearby. Treat them as a heads-up only, and confirm the date on the consulate's own page before travelling.

What you can usually do there

  • New passport or passport renewal
  • Consular ID card (Mexico's matrícula consular, El Salvador's DUI, Guatemala's TICG, or Honduran ID enrollment)
  • Certified copies of a birth certificate, or registering the birth of a US-born child
  • Voter ID card, for Mexican citizens
  • Dual nationality registration, at events that include it

What it cannot do

  • Notarial power of attorney: almost always requires the permanent consular office
  • Complicated nationality cases or civil registry corrections that need deeper review
  • Visas for people who are not citizens of that country
  • Any procedure the consulate did not specifically announce for that event, even if they normally offer it at their main office
  • A guarantee that you get the document the same day: each case is reviewed under the regulations, and having an appointment does not mean automatic approval

Common questions

Do I need an appointment to visit a mobile consulate?
It depends on the country. Mexico and Guatemala usually require an appointment, even for mobile events, which you can book online, by phone, or through the official app. El Salvador's mobile consulate usually works on a first-come, first-served basis, without an appointment. Always confirm on your consulate's official page before you go.
Can I get a power of attorney or handle a complicated procedure at the mobile consulate?
Generally no. Notarial powers of attorney and more complicated nationality or civil registry cases almost always have to be handled at the permanent consular office, not at the mobile event. Confirm with your consulate whether your specific procedure will be available that day.
How do I know when a mobile consulate is coming to my city in Florida?
Start with the consulate that already covers Florida for your country. Every one of the 16 countries in this directory has at least one Florida office — most are in Miami, with Mexico and Colombia also in Orlando, El Salvador and Panama in Tampa, and Guatemala in Lake Worth. So in Florida a mobile consulate is usually about distance rather than absence: it exists to reach people who live hours from Miami. Check that office's 'avisos' page and its social accounts, or call and ask directly when the next mobile consulate is scheduled for your area. Dates are announced with little notice and change often, so confirm before you travel.

About this information

  • Source URLs re-checked 2026-09-19 from this project. Live (HTTP 200): the Mexican consulate pages for Atlanta and Miami, and embaguateusa.gob.gt. Returning HTTP 403 to automated checks: minex.gob.gt and rree.gob.sv — the hosts answer, but block bots, so their content could not be read and is cited on trust.
  • Mobile consulate schedules change constantly and are announced by each consulate, not by us. Every date must be confirmed on the consulate's own site or phone line before travelling.

Got the documents — not sure what to file?

Bringing the right civil documents is the easy half. Which petition they belong to, and in what order, is the part worth a conversation. Consultations are free, in English and Spanish.
