Consulate General of Colombia in Los Angeles

The official district of the Colombian Consulate in Los Angeles covers Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico. Its own page specifies that Las Vegas belongs to the San Francisco consulate, so the word ‘California’ alone is not enough to choose an office. The address is 8383 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 930, Beverly Hills, on the ninth floor.

Published services include passports, national ID cards, civil registrations, identity cards, special powers, authentications, consular cards, minors’ exit permissions and certificates. Passport applicants must appear in person and the consulate takes the photograph; no photos need to be brought. The page warns delivery can take more than 20 working days, so check the documents and allow for that lead time.

Since September 2026, a temporary walk-in pilot has operated for residents of Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico. Monday to Thursday, 8–11 a.m., it allows a defined set of procedures, including passports, authentications, selected civil registrations, consular cards, minors’ permissions and life certificates. Applicants must prove residence with one of the current documents listed by the office; daily capacity is limited and visitors are seen in arrival order, with priority for people over 65.

The trial does not cover every service: national IDs, identity cards and birth registration require online appointments; public deeds, general powers, residence certificates and renunciation of nationality are requested by email under the notice. Anyone without accepted proof of address is directed to book an appointment. Because the measure is a trial ‘until further notice,’ check it again before travelling.

The contact page lists procedures Monday to Friday, 8 a.m.–2 p.m. and collection until 4 p.m., while Maps shows a 9 a.m. opening; the pilot has its own 8 a.m. start. These times refer to different services and should not be conflated. Reviews on the exact listing include positive accounts of staff diligence and special service days as well as differing experiences; appointment access is a recurring topic. Official instructions and the booking confirmation remain decisive.
