As of 2026, Cuba operates a single consular office in the United States — the consular section of the Cuban Embassy in Washington, DC. Wherever you live in the US, it is the only place in the country where the Cuban diaspora can handle passports and civil-registry paperwork in person.
Procedures available at a Cuban consulate
- Cuba passport (first issuance, renewal, replacement)
- Identity documents — Cuba issues no consular ID; the Cuban passport is the diaspora identity document
- Birth, marriage, death certificates (transcription / apostille)
- Registering US-born children for dual citizenship
- Power of attorney for transactions in the home country
- Voting from abroad (when applicable)
- Consular protection in legal or emergency cases
How consular service works with a single office
- All Cuban consular paperwork in the US goes through the Washington, DC office — there is no closer alternative, wherever you live.
- Check which procedures can be started by mail before planning a trip.
- Verify the embassy’s official page for hours and whether an appointment is required.
