Two adjacent Embassy Row addresses serve different purposes: 1732 Massachusetts Avenue NW is Chile’s Embassy; 1736 is its Consular Section, where community procedures are handled. Google Maps places its pin at 1734, while the official page lists 1736. Use the official address and call if you need to confirm building entry or reception.

Who belongs to Washington?

The Consular Section serves the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina. It is open Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m., by prior appointment only. Email washington@consulado.gob.cl for appointments and routine questions; the office says not to use the emergency line for ordinary inquiries.

Emergency contact: send the required details

The office phone is +1 202-530-4109. The emergency number is +1 202-215-2803, by SMS or WhatsApp. Include full name, RUN or passport number, phone, explanation and location in the United States (city and state). It is reserved for qualifying situations such as accidents, missing minors or stolen documents. For immediate local emergencies, call 911.

Documents, payment and the visit

Chile’s network handles passports and identity cards, civil registrations, certificates, powers/notarial acts, emergency travel documents and overseas voting. For a passport, bring proof of nationality, a valid ID, the previous passport and a police report when applicable. Minors need both parents or accepted consent/custody documentation. The national published price is US$91 plus US$3 consular fee. Local exception: on the last business day of each month, cards are not accepted; payment must be by money order or bank deposit.
