Colombian consular services in Seattle, Washington

Colombia has no permanent consulate in Seattle. This is not an oversight on this page — the official jurisdiction (circunscripción) of the Consulate of Colombia in San Francisco includes the State of Washington (checked October 16, 2026). If you live in the Seattle area, your consulate is in San Francisco.

Your covering consulate: San Francisco

  • Consulate: Consulate of Colombia in San Francisco
  • Address: 111 Pine Street, Suite 1400, San Francisco, CA 94111 (the consulate’s own site; the Foreign Ministry directory lists 456 Montgomery Street, Suite 400) — about 800 miles from Seattle (a ~2-hour flight)
  • Phone: +1 (415) 495-7195 (information on procedures), per the San Francisco consulate’s contact page, read October 15, 2026; appointment requests by text: +1 888 531 2247. An earlier version of this page printed (415) 795-4195, a number the consulate’s site does not list.

  • Official jurisdiction (circunscripción): northern California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Alaska, and Hawaii

Mobile consulates — service without the full trip

Seattle is one of the cities where the Cancillería has organized consulados móviles (mobile consulates offering passports, cédulas, civil registry and more), precisely because the covering consulate is ~800 miles away. Watch the San Francisco consulate’s site and social channels for the next Seattle date — for many procedures it beats flying to California.

Next Seattle date: December 2–4, 2026

The San Francisco consulate’s 2026 mobile-consulate calendar, checked October 15, 2026, lists Seattle, WA, December 2–4, 2026. The same calendar shows the earlier 2026 Seattle visit (May 6–8) and visits to Nampa, Idaho (September 30 to October 1) and Las Vegas (October 29–30). The calendar gives no venue or booking date for December; for Las Vegas the consulate published those details in a separate announcement posted October 1, 2026, so watch its news page.

What the San Francisco consulate’s own site says (checked October 16, 2026)

  • Traveling to the San Francisco office from outside California (checked October 17, 2026): the booking page requires trying to book first. If no appointment is received, residents outside California may attend on a business day without one, preferably from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., with documents proving residence outside California, such as a contract, bills or tickets. This exception excludes civil-registration procedures and public deeds.

  • Mobile-consulate booking (checked October 17, 2026): that page says the San Francisco appointment SMS channel does not process mobile-consulate procedures.

  • Jurisdiction: “la parte norte del Estado de California y en los Estados de Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Alaska y Hawái”

  • Address: 111 Pine Street, Suite 1400, San Francisco, CA 94111

  • Emergency phone: +14157708994, which the consulate lists as “exclusivamente para emergencias” (emergencies only)

  • Toll-free line in the US: 1888 764 3326

  • Hours and appointments: the site states that its «Horarios de atención» page gives the opening hours and “los trámites que requieren cita” (the procedures that require an appointment)

  • Passport fees abroad (Cancillería schedule, outside Europe and Cuba): ordinary USD $86,00 · executive USD $175,00 · emergency USD $129,00

  • Payment: payment is possible only after the application has been formalized (“debe haber realizado previamente la formalización de la solicitud”); PSE online payment requires an active bank account in Colombia enabled for electronic payments; San Francisco does not appear on the Cancillería’s list of consulates that accept money orders, and the Cancillería says to check available payment methods with the consulate

Before you travel — do this first

  1. Check whether your procedure requires an appointment — the San Francisco consulate’s site states that its «Horarios de atención» page lists the opening hours and the procedures that require one (checked October 16, 2026).
  2. Register in the Registro Consular online if you haven’t.
  3. Confirm requirements and fees for your specific procedure on the official site (Cancillería passport fees abroad, checked October 16, 2026: ordinary USD $86,00, executive USD $175,00).
  4. Confirm the accepted payment method — San Francisco is not on the Cancillería’s list of consulates that accept money orders for passport payment, and the Cancillería says to check available payment methods with the consulate (checked October 16, 2026).
