Consulate of El Salvador in Nashville (Tennessee)
A Salvadoran office serving "Music City"
The General Consulate of El Salvador in Nashville opened its doors at 311 Plus Park Blvd, Suite 110, in the Plus Park area, south of Tennessee's capital and very close to BNA International Airport. Its opening was a response to the rapid growth of the Salvadoran community in the Nashville metropolitan area, one of the regions of the country where the Latino population has grown fastest in recent years. In neighborhoods such as Antioch, South Nashville, Madison and along Nolensville Pike, thousands of families from San Salvador, Usulután, San Miguel and the eastern region live side by side, with pupuserías, Central American markets and money-transfer agencies that keep their connection to home alive.
This consular office is the reference point for Salvadorans throughout Tennessee and across a rapidly expanding U.S. Southeast, where the community has put down roots thanks to the boom in construction, the roofing industry, landscaping, logistics, food processing and the hospitality services that sustain the city's music tourism. If you live in Murfreesboro, Smyrna, La Vergne, Clarksville or any county in the state, this is your office for handling your DUI (national ID card), passport and other services. Remember that service is by appointment only; below you will find the exact address, phone number, hours and the steps to book.

My child was born in Tennessee — can I register them as Salvadoran here?
Yes. Children of a Salvadoran father or mother born in Tennessee can be registered in El Salvador's civil registry through the Nashville consulate. This allows them to obtain their Salvadoran birth certificate, their carné de minoridad (minor's ID card) and, in time, their passport. Bring the U.S. birth certificate and the Salvadoran parent's documentation, such as a valid DUI (national ID card) or passport.
Can I renew my DUI or passport without appearing in person?
No. Both the DUI (national ID card) and the passport are strictly in-person procedures: the consulate must take your fingerprints and photograph, so they cannot be handled by mail or through a third party. Book your appointment at portalcitas.rree.gob.sv, bring your previous document (even if expired) or your Salvadoran birth certificate if it's your first time, and arrive at least 15 minutes early with your appointment confirmation.
