Whether this office is currently open to the public and processing routine consular services should be confirmed before you rely on it (see the status note below).

Status (checked October 16, 2026): MPPRE’s official directories list no Venezuelan consulate or embassy in the United States. Venezuela and the United States agreed on March 5, 2026 to re-establish diplomatic and consular relations (statements by Venezuela’s foreign ministry, MPPRE, and the US State Department). On September 12, 2026, Venezuela’s state broadcaster RNV reported that the New York consulate had been renovated but that the authorities had not yet issued an official statement setting a date for its opening to the public or enabling its appointment system, and MPPRE’s list of Venezuelan consulates worldwide, checked October 16, 2026, includes no office in the United States, and its embassy list includes none either. Treat contact details as historical reference and confirm current availability through official Venezuelan government channels.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.
