Status — reopening underway (verified June 10, 2026). US–Venezuela diplomatic relations, severed in January 2019, were formally restored in March 2026 after Venezuela’s political transition. Venezuela has retaken its diplomatic sites and announced a gradual reopening of its consular network, with passport services cited as the first to resume — but routine public services at these offices have not been confirmed as resumed as of this page’s verification date. Treat contact details as historical reference and confirm current availability through official Venezuelan government channels. See the 10-year passport validity rule and current routes.
Public directories historically list 5 Venezuelan consular offices across 4 US states and territories. Because of the disrupted diplomatic relationship, the current operating status of each office should be independently verified before you rely on it.
