Consulate General of Spain in Miami

The Consulate General of Spain in Miami is at 2655 Le Jeune Road, Suite 203, Coral Gables. It serves Florida, Georgia and South Carolina; the Ministry also publishes a network of honorary consulates and vice-consulates across the district. Those offices may bring certain services closer, but they are not interchangeable: official information says honorary vice-consulates do not process visas, and each procedure must be assigned to the competent office based on residence and application type.

General public hours are listed as 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday, with passport collection until 12:30 p.m. The main phone numbers are (305) 446-5511, 5512 and 5513; the website provides separate email contacts for passports, consular registration, notarial matters, certificates and visas. Before heading to the building, check whether you need an appointment or must first email scanned documents. Civil Registry instructions begin by email for births, marriages, deaths and other matters, with different submission methods depending on the case.

The office lists passports, nationality, consular registration, Civil Registry, certificates, legalisations, certified copies, notarial powers, NIE and NIF applications among its services. For a passport, the consulate requires an in-person appearance and appointment and may require prior consular registration. For an NIE, the office receives and forwards the request, but Spain’s police authority assigns the number; the page gives an average processing period that may be extended, not a guaranteed date. Fees and payment methods should be checked again in the current instructions.

For visas, distinguishing the address prevents a common mistake: short-stay Schengen and study applications are submitted to BLS Visa Service for Spain at 3191 Coral Way, Suite 611, Coral Gables. Other applications, such as certain residence categories, are sent by post to the consular visa department according to the relevant procedure. Appointments and documents vary: residence, employment, study, short visits and family reunification do not share a single checklist. BLS receives files in assigned categories; the consular office retains responsibility for deciding them.

The Maps listing that matches the official office includes accounts praising professional and courteous treatment during certain procedures as well as users describing difficulty getting an appointment or clarifying the process. This contrast can help set expectations, but it cannot predict an individual outcome. We recommend checking the official page for the location that receives the file, saving the appointment confirmation and preparing originals, copies and payments exactly as instructed.
