Colombian consular services in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Colombia has no permanent consulate in Philadelphia. This is not an oversight on this page — Colombia maintains exactly 12 career consulates in the United States, and Philadelphia is not one of them. If you live in the Philadelphia area, your consulate is in Newark.

Mobile consulates — service without the full trip

Newark is only ~90 miles from Philadelphia, so mobile sessions in Pennsylvania are less frequent — but the consulate publishes outreach activity for its jurisdiction on the Newark consulate’s site; check before traveling.

Before you travel — do this first

  1. Book an appointment through the consulate’s official site — walk-ins are generally not accepted for passports or cédulas.
  2. Register in the Registro Consular online if you haven’t — it speeds up most procedures.
  3. Confirm requirements and fees for your specific procedure on the official site (passport fees changed on April 6, 2026).
  4. Bring payment in the accepted form — many consulates take only money order or card, not cash.
