The Embassy of the Republic of Cuba in Washington (which houses the consular section since 2015) is the only operating Cuban diplomatic mission in the United States.","question":"Is there a Cuban consulate in [my US city]?"},{"answer":"All Cuban consular services in the United States are provided by the Cuban Embassy consular section in Washington, D.C. Cuban nationals living in other US cities must travel to Washington, D.C., apply by postal mail, or apply through an agency under contract with the consular office.","question":"Where can I obtain a Cuban passport or HE-11 visa from in the US?"},{"answer":"No. Cuba does not maintain honorary consuls in the United States. Cuban nationals in cities far from Washington must use the Embassy directly or, for limited services, may use a Cuban consulate in a third country (often Mexico City or Toronto, Canada) if traveling abroad.","question":"Does Cuba use honorary consuls or partner consulates in US cities outside Washington?"},{"answer":"No. The Cuban consular office in Washington does not publish an online appointment or payment portal. Its official notice lists exactly three channels for requesting a consular service: in person at the consular office, by postal mail, or through an agency under contract with the consular office. In-person public attention runs Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon.","question":"Is there an online appointment portal for Cuban consular services in the US?"}],"generated":"2026-08-07","isBasedOn":"https://misiones.cubaminrex.cu/es/eeuu/servicios-consulares","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Cuban Consular Services in the United States — Washington, D.C.
