Once in the consulate, they are helpful and cordial. However, finding out information about requisites for documents, to get there prepare is a nightmare. I didn't try to call, but it seems that they don't have enough personnel to be handling calls. The website I believe is handled from Colombia, so good luck finding anything. July 2022: to get passport: you need: Old passport, or lost/stolen report if you don't have it Cédula Money order for the amount in the website: right now $89usd If you want them to mail it to you: bring a Priority Mail envelope plus $10 in stamps. Hopefully this helps others come prepare at least for the passport.

If they answered a phone call that would be very nice, it’s almost impossible to get someone on the phone. Extremely incompetent

Greatest government-related establishment I have ever dealt with. They were extremely cordial, professional and, above all, they displayed a great deal of patience when dealing with small children that needed Colombian passports. Governments from all over the world should visit this Colombian Consulate to learn how business at their consulates should be conducted. All in all, it was simply a great experience doing business with them. How many people in this world can sincerely say: "It was a great experience doing business with a government office?" I would venture to say only a handful would say so--The Colombian Consulate being one of them. Thank you for your wonderful support. José

Questions & Answers

What do I need to get the new passport?

Jaider Navarro | Sep 4, 2018
Luisa M | Aug 4, 2022

I am getting the passport today July 15/22. You need the citizenship card, the passport that has already expired, and a $89 money order. If you lost your passport, you need a loss report. If you do not want to pick up the passport, and you want it to be mailed to you, you also need a USPS priority mail envelope and stamps that add up to a value of $10.

You can register the card by phone oh you have to go personally? Thank you

Mr. Daniel, your procedure was successfully carried out today despite the inconveniences that we presented in the system, we managed to attend all the people who were in the room. We appreciate your understanding.

How many days does it take to send the new passport and/or would it be faster to pick it up?

Kimberly Rodriguez | Aug 27, 2022
jorgehernan calderon | Aug 30, 2022

According to what was stated by the consulate official, it takes 2 weeks and they send it to the residence address, if you live in San Francisco you can pick it up right there, but it takes 2 weeks the same time.

It's time to schedule an appointment for some procedure or just go to the consulate and that's it.

Danna García niño | Aug 4, 2022
Diego Cruz | Aug 13, 2022

Not all the services provided by the consulate need to be scheduled.

I would call the consulate and find out from them directly. If you live close I would go down there and find out or I recommend you try calling right when they open at 8am and someone may answer right away. Otherwise plan on calling repetitively until they pick up the phone. I called 14 times once until someone finally answered.
