Consular Section of the Argentine Embassy in Washington

Argentina’s Consular Section in Washington is part of the Embassy and is not a separate Consulate General. Its district covers the capital and six states: Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. The official jurisdiction page helps residents determine whether this is their assigned office.

The visitor address for consular appointments is 1811 Q Street NW, Washington, DC 20009. The Embassy’s mailing address, 1600 New Hampshire Avenue NW, is different and should not automatically be used for an in-person visit. General information lists weekday morning public hours; the portal publishes a consular phone number and email as well as a separate emergency line.

Published services include DNI cards and passports, nationality by option, life certificates, powers of attorney, certifications, apostilles, visas, travel permissions for minors and citizen assistance. DNI and passport procedures require a personal appointment through the online national system. Each file has its own checklist, and some matters begin by email, so read the relevant service page before travelling.

The Embassy says DNI cards are produced in Argentina and sent to Washington; published processing periods are estimates, and collection follows separate instructions. The office does not issue express or same-day passports. Foreign documents, apostilles and translations may involve additional requirements depending on the issuing authority and purpose. Current official guidance should take precedence over general guides or old forms.

The Maps listing located for 1811 Q Street is titled “Argentine Embassy,” not “Consular Section”; a separate listing at 1600 New Hampshire represents another point. Reviews from the former are used cautiously as context for that building and describe individual visits, not a standalone measure of every consular procedure. Before visiting, confirm the building, entrance, time and original documents in your appointment notice.
