Consulate General of Colombia in Boston

The Consulate General of Colombia in Boston is at 31 St James Avenue, Suite 960, ninth floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02116. Its contact page lists the local number 617-536-6222 and cboston@cancilleria.gov.co. For emergencies affecting life, health or personal safety, the office offers a separate line for calls, WhatsApp or SMS; the emergency number does not replace ordinary inquiry channels.

Its consular district covers Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Rhode Island. Published services include passports, national ID and identity cards, civil registration, minors’ travel permits, powers of attorney, authentications, consular cards, residence certificates, life certificates and electoral registration. Some matters—such as public deeds or statements by potential victims—are coordinated by email under the relevant procedure page.

The appointment portal says that, from September 11, 2026, slots open at 9 a.m. for the next business day and lists procedures for which appointments are used. At the same time, another official notice offers walk-in tickets for several similar services, with limited morning capacity. This difference matters to people travelling from Maine, Vermont or Rhode Island: we recommend confirming the specific procedure with the consulate before planning the journey.

The appointment page says that collection of passports or documents already processed does not require an appointment and lists a 9 a.m.–2 p.m. window; the walk-in notice describes same-day service through 2 p.m. Some non-document procedures also use a different channel. Bringing valid identification, proof of residence where required and printed documents helps prevent an incomplete appointment or ticket.

Public Google Maps reviews include accounts thanking staff for courtesy, professionalism and prompt handling in particular cases. Appointment arrangements are a practical subject of interest to visitors. We summarise these observations without turning them into a service guarantee: every review concerns one visit and availability may change. The platform and official page show the same ninth-floor office, so we do not mix comments from other cities.
