Frequently asked questions about El Salvador consulates in the USA
Which Consulate of El Salvador covers my area based on where I live?
Each Salvadoran consulate covers a geographic jurisdiction. The most practical option is to choose the consulate closest to your city of residence. Use the search box and the map on this page to locate it, or check the How to book your appointment β portal, where you will see the available consulates when booking your appointment (cita).
Can I get or renew my DUI (national ID) in the United States?
Yes. El Salvador consulates process the Documento Γnico de Identidad (DUI, national ID) for Salvadorans aged 18 and over. Several consulates βsuch as Los Angeles, Woodbridge (VA), Silver Spring (MD), Long Island (NY) and Dallas (TX)β offer same-day delivery. Check our DUI guide for the requirements and the updated list.
How much does the Salvadoran passport cost and how long does it take?
The Salvadoran passport costs roughly 60 USD at consulates in the USA and is usually delivered within a few weeks, although some consulates offer faster delivery systems. Review the exact requirements and timelines in our passport guide and always confirm the current fees at your consulate.
Is there any cost for the consular appointment?
No. Booking the appointment (cita) is completely free, whether through the portalcitas.rree.gob.sv portal or the Call Center at 1-888-301-1130 (option 4 for the USA and Canada). What does carry a cost are certain specific procedures, such as the passport. Be wary of agents who charge just to "get you the appointment."
What should I do if the police or ICE detain me as a Salvadoran?
You have the right to contact the Consulate of El Salvador (Vienna Convention). You may remain silent and ask to speak with your consulate. Call your nearest consulate's number or the Call Center; they provide 24-hour emergency assistance. Do not sign any document without first consulting the consulate or an immigration attorney.
Can I register my child born in the United States as Salvadoran?
Yes. Consulates register the births of children of Salvadorans that occur abroad, which lets you obtain their Salvadoran birth certificate and, later, a passport. You will generally need the apostilled U.S. birth certificate and the parents' identity documents. See our birth certificate guide.
