Consulate of El Salvador in Las Vegas, Nevada
The Salvadoran consular office in east Las Vegas
The Consulate General of El Salvador in Las Vegas is located at 765 N. Nellis Blvd, Suite C-5, on the east side of the city, a residential and commercial area that is home to much of the valley's Latino community. Thousands of Salvadorans have made Las Vegas their home, drawn by the entertainment economy: casinos, Strip hotels, restaurants and the huge service and cleaning sector that keeps the entertainment capital of the world running. This consular office brings El Salvador's services closer to those who, because of their shifts in hospitality or the casinos, need attentive and well-organized assistance nearby.
Beyond the Las Vegas metropolitan area, this office is the point of reference for Salvadorans across the entire state of Nevada, from Henderson and North Las Vegas to Reno, Sparks and Carson City in the north.

Frequently asked questions – Consulate of El Salvador in Las Vegas
I work overnight shifts at a casino. What time can I go to the consulate?
The consulate is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, so you will need to schedule your appointment during those daytime hours. If you work overnight at a hotel or casino on the Strip, the most practical option is to book an appointment first thing in the morning or in the mid-afternoon, before your shift. Remember that an appointment is mandatory and it is best to arrive 15 minutes early.
Does the Las Vegas consulate serve Salvadorans in Reno, Henderson or North Las Vegas?
Yes. The Las Vegas office covers Salvadorans across the entire state of Nevada, including Henderson, North Las Vegas, Sparks, Carson City and Reno in the north. Since Reno is more than 7 hours away by car, plan your trip and combine several procedures into a single visit; you can also ask whether there are mobile consulate days near your city.
Can I process the DUI ID by mail, or does it have to be in person?
The DUI (Documento Único de Identidad – Salvadoran national ID) is strictly in person: the consulate must take your fingerprints and photo, so it cannot be processed by mail or through a third party. Book your appointment at portalcitas.rree.gob.sv, bring your previous DUI (even if expired) or your Salvadoran birth certificate if it is your first time, and show up with your appointment confirmation.
Where exactly is the consulate, and is there parking?
The consulate is at 765 N. Nellis Blvd, Suite C-5, in east Las Vegas, in a shopping center with parking for visitors. It is easily reached via Nellis Blvd and is close to US-95 and I-515. If you don't have a car, RTC bus lines run along Nellis Blvd, although Uber or Lyft are usually the most convenient way to arrive on time.
My child was born in Nevada. Can I register them as Salvadoran at this consulate?
Yes. Children of a Salvadoran father or mother born in Nevada can be registered in El Salvador's civil registry through the Las Vegas consulate, which allows them to obtain their Salvadoran birth certificate, their carné de minoridad (minor's ID card) and, later on, their passport. Bring the Nevada birth certificate and the Salvadoran parent's documentation.
What should I do if I need to travel to El Salvador urgently and my passport is expired?
In emergencies (the death or serious illness of an immediate family member), contact the Las Vegas consulate immediately at (702) 437-5337 or the Call Center at 1-888-301-1130, option 4, and explain the situation.
