Consulate of El Salvador in Doral (Miami), Florida
The Salvadoran consular office in the heart of South Florida
The Consulate General of El Salvador in Doral is located at 8550 NW 33rd Street, Suite 100, within the business district of Doral, in Miami-Dade County. This area, fondly nicknamed "Doralzuela" for its large Latin American community, is packed with offices, logistics centers and businesses where thousands of Central Americans go about their daily lives. The Salvadoran community in South Florida is sizable and spread across Miami, Hialeah, Homestead and the western suburbs of the county, with a strong presence in construction, hospitality, transportation and services.
This consular office is the point of reference for Salvadorans throughout the state of Florida. While most visitors live in the Miami metropolitan area, many fellow citizens travel from Orlando, Tampa or Jacksonville to handle their DUI (national ID card), passport or civil registry matters. That is why it is worth making the most of the trip by grouping several procedures into a single appointment and planning the journey ahead of time, since an appointment is required. Below you will find the exact address, phone number, hours and how to book.
