Consulate of Colombia in Washington, D.C.

The official district of the Consulate of Colombia in Washington, D.C. includes the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and West Virginia. The office is at 1724 Massachusetts Avenue NW, second floor, and serves people across all five jurisdictions. For residents travelling from beyond the district, the weekly appointment schedule and consular Saturdays make advance planning important.

The office provides passports, national IDs, identity cards, civil registrations, minors’ exit permissions, powers, public deeds, signature services, certificates and authentications. The portal clearly separates procedures requiring an appointment from those requested by email or received without a booking. This prevents general building hours from being mistaken for universal access to every service counter.

Appointments for regular procedures are released Fridays at 10 a.m. for the following week; if Friday is a holiday, the office says they open on the preceding business day. Consular Saturday slots are released on the prior Thursday. Passports, identification and civil registrations require appointments. Deeds and nationality procedures use an email channel. The system uses facial recognition; appointments are individual and subject to capacity.

The page lists several walk-in services, including collection of processed documents, life certificates, signature recognition, minors’ exit permissions and certain copies or authentications. Voter registration is also listed without an appointment, but its deadlines are temporary. Before visiting, confirm that the exception covers your document and circumstances, and check requirements, fees and holidays.

Consular Saturdays do not follow a weekly pattern. The 2026 schedule sets dates and appointment releases; some notices extend hours or change which services can be handled without a booking. Google Maps reviews give different impressions about organization, waiting and staff service. They are qualitative context; the official notice and confirmed procedure should determine whether to travel.
