Support in critical situations such as accidents, hospitalizations, arrests, or deaths. The consulate acts as a liaison with family members, local authorities, and the Consulate General in Miami.
Local Entities
It acts as a bridge between the Spanish community and local authorities (municipalities, hospitals, educational centers), fostering dialogue on community issues.
Consular Registration
Assistance with registering or updating your information in the Consular Registration. This registration allows you to access consular services and exercise rights such as voting from abroad.
Minors' passport
