Consulate General of Colombia in Houston

The Consulate General of Colombia in Houston is the reference office for residents of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. The Foreign Ministry lists it at 5599 San Felipe Street, Suite 600, Houston. The state district helps identify which office to consult, but it does not mean there is a permanent branch in every state: service outside Houston is announced as mobile consular sessions on specific dates.

Its catalogue covers passports, national ID cards, identity cards, civil registrations, minors’ exit permissions, powers, authentications, certificates and other acts. Each procedure has its own identification, personal-appearance and original-document requirements. The official page distinguishes collections and certain certificates or copies that may be handled without an appointment from procedures requiring a booking; open the exact procedure page before assembling paperwork.

For many procedures, appointments are booked online and released at 4 p.m. Houston time: Fridays for the following week and other business days for the next service day. Residents over 65 and people with disabilities living in the four-state district are exempt for their own personal procedures, alongside other procedure-specific exceptions. Mobile sessions have their own registration forms and dates, so do not travel based only on an old notice.

The information number published by the consulate is +1 346-204-4664, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m.–2 p.m.; another line handles detainee inquiries, and WhatsApp is limited to emergencies. The office offers conditional passport mailing for residents more than 50 miles away, using a prepaid tracked envelope and a carrier restriction. These details may save a second trip, but they require following the current instructions.

Comments on the exact Google Maps listing include praise for staff assistance and some mobile sessions, alongside different accounts. Appointments, paperwork and long journeys recur in both reviews and the official instructions. The best preparation is to confirm the slot and service mode, save the confirmation and recheck requirements before setting out.
