Appointments and how to confirm the address

Every Honduran consulate in the US books through one official system, and that is also where the Tampa office’s current address and hours are confirmed:

  1. Book and confirm location at citaconsular.sreci.gob.hn — the official Honduran appointment portal (passport, DNI enrollment, registrations, powers of attorney). Select the Tampa consulate to see its current address and available dates.
  2. Check the consulate’s own official channels — the Consulate-General of Honduras in Tampa maintains official social-media pages; confirm the current street address and hours there before you travel, since consulates relocate.
  3. Consular emergencies (lost passport, detention, death of a relative): call the Embassy of Honduras in Washington, DC at +1 (202) 966-7702 (1250 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20036).
  4. Most Honduran consulates require an appointment — do not travel without one.

  • Embassy or main consulate of your country in Washington DC — typically maintains an up-to-date list of all subordinate consulates
  • Wikipedia “List of diplomatic missions of [Country]” — community-maintained, generally accurate but verify against official sources

For consular emergencies (lost passport, arrest, medical emergency, death) while in the US, contact your home country’s embassy in Washington DC by phone — embassies generally have 24/7 emergency lines.

For services your home country’s consulate provides (passport renewal, national ID, civil registry, voting from abroad, power of attorney, child registration): consular fees vary by country and service — confirm the current fee on your consulate’s official fee schedule. Most accept ITIN-only payment. Required documents typically include: current ID, proof of US address, completed application form (per country), and consular fee in money order or accepted form.
