Booking an appointment
MINEX does not run a single centralized booking portal for US consulates. On its official Atención Consular page MINEX tells Guatemalans they may go to their nearest consulate with or without a prior appointment (“con o sin cita previa”), and that anyone who prefers to schedule the visit books it by phone — each consulate publishes its own booking number under the heading “¡Llama y agenda tu cita!”.
- Call the consulate directly at (213) 900-1098
- Say which service you need (passport, DPI, apostille, etc.)
- Agree a date, then write down the confirmation and the documents you must bring
Most consulate front desks are Spanish-only. Our consulate appointment phone guide has a Spanish call script and the direct number for every US consulate.
Booking procedure verified against the MINEX Atención Consular page on September 9, 2026.
If you cannot get through by phone, our guide to scheduling a Guatemala consulate appointment in the USA lists each consulate’s direct phone number and hours, the Spanish phrases you need on the call, current wait times by consulate, and the documents to have ready before you dial.
