For Chileans in Houston, the key distinction is not simply whether to call or write; it is choosing the right channel. The office separates routine questions and appointments from emergencies outside public hours.
Who belongs to the Post Oak office?
The post is at 1300 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 1130, Houston, Texas 77056. It serves Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. Public hours are Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m., except federal holidays. Email houston@consulado.gob.cl for routine questions and appointments; listed office lines are +1 832-668-5835 and +1 832-831-4947.
The emergency number has a specific procedure
+1 832-208-4452 accepts SMS or WhatsApp only outside office hours; it is not an information line. Include your full name, RUN or passport number, telephone number and an explanation. The consulate lists accidents, missing minors and stolen documents as examples. Incomplete messages may not be processed. For immediate police, fire or medical emergencies in the United States, call 911.
Passport checklist
Prepare a previous Chilean document or ID to establish nationality, a valid identity card, and a local police report when a passport was lost or stolen. If the ID has expired, both documents must be processed. Applicants under 18 need both parents or the applicable notarized consent/custody record. The national published price is US$91 plus US$3 in consular fees; ask the post to confirm payment and delivery. The appointment portal may not list every procedure; email the office if yours is missing.
