DIRECT ACCESS — MINEX CONSULATE APPOINTMENT
Book by Phone With Your Guatemala Consulate
Before you call, have ready:
  • Guatemalan DPI or passport number
  • The consulate that covers your address
  • Service you need (passport, DPI, apostille, etc.)
  • Dates you can attend
Cost: Free to book · Channel: phone, or attend without an appointment · MINEX: +502 2410-0000 · Verified: September 2026

Quick summary: MINEX’s Atención Consular page (verified 9 September 2026) says you may attend your nearest Guatemalan consulate with or without a prior appointment, and appointments are booked by phone with the consulate. The old citaconsularguatemala.com link now redirects to MINEX’s citas portal, which serves no booking form for US consulates. Booking is free. There are 26 consulates in the USA.

What Is the Consular Appointment System?

For US consulates there is no working online system in 2026. MINEX’s Atención Consular page tells Guatemalans they may go to the nearest consulate “con o sin cita previa” (with or without a prior appointment), and that anyone who prefers a scheduled visit books it by telephone – each consulate publishes its own booking number.

The address this page used to recommend, citaconsularguatemala.com, now redirects to MINEX’s Salesforce-hosted citas consulares portal (checked 24 September 2026). That portal still loads, but in September 2026 it served no appointment form for US consulates.

For the Guatemalans living in the USA, the consulate is still the gateway to most consular services: renewing a passport, getting or replacing a DPI, registering a US-born child as Guatemalan, notarial powers of attorney and more.

Requirements to Book

  • A phone
  • Guatemalan DPI or passport number
  • Knowing which service you need (passport, DPI, apostille, etc.)
  • Knowing which consulate covers your address (see the consulate finder)

Step-by-Step

  1. Find your consulate in the consulate finder and note its phone number.
  2. Call the consulate and say which service you need (passport, DPI, birth registration, notarial power, etc.).
  3. Agree a date and time, and ask what documents and payment method to bring for that service.
  4. Or go without an appointment: MINEX says you may attend with or without one. Expect to wait.
  5. On the day, bring your DPI or passport and the documents for the service, originals plus copies.

Common Errors

Details

Private sites that charge to “book your appointment” are not MINEX. MINEX books US consular appointments by phone with each consulate, at no charge, and says you may also attend without an appointment.

Details

Guides that tell you to book at citaconsularguatemala.com or the MINEX citas portal are out of date: the first redirects to the second, and the second served no booking form for US consulates in September 2026. Call the consulate instead.

Details

Call the consulate to correct it before your appointment. Do not show up unannounced with wrong data – the document you get must match your identity documents.

Details

Two options: (1) Attend without an appointment – MINEX says you may, though you should expect to wait. (2) Look for a mobile consulate or Saturday service day near you – see the Saturday consular service schedule and the consulates list.

For US Diaspora

The 26 Guatemala consulates in the USA each serve a defined jurisdiction (MINEX directory). Some of the most used:

  • Los Angeles — southern California counties, southern Nevada counties, Hawaii and Guam. Los Angeles Consulate
  • Houston — central and east Texas counties, and Louisiana. Houston Consulate
  • New York — New York State except Long Island (which goes to Riverhead), northern New Jersey counties, four Connecticut counties. New York Consulate
  • Chicago — Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan. Chicago Consulate
  • Rockville, MD (DC area) — DC, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia. Rockville Consulate
  • Miami — most of Florida, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Miami Consulate
  • Atlanta — Georgia, Alabama and 48 central/southern Mississippi counties. Atlanta Consulate
  • Dallas — north Texas counties, including the Panhandle and Dallas-Fort Worth. Dallas Consulate

For those in cities without a consulate, MINEX runs mobile consulates and Saturday service days; dates are announced by the consulate that covers your jurisdiction. Worth signing up for consular registration.

For each consulate’s direct phone number, go to Schedule Guatemala Consulate Appointment from USA.

Corrected 24 September 2026: Guatemalan consulates in the US book appointments by phone, and MINEX says you may attend with or without one (Atención Consular, verified 9 September 2026). This page previously told readers to book online at citaconsularguatemala.com; that address now redirects to a MINEX portal that serves no booking form for US consulates. Several consulate jurisdictions listed here were also corrected to the MINEX directory.
