Honduran Embassy and Consular Section in Washington D.C.
The Honduran consular office in the nation's capital
In Washington D.C., service to Hondurans is not provided by a standalone consulate general, but by the Consular Section of the Embassy of Honduras. This is an important distinction: the embassy represents the country before the U.S. Government, and within it the consular area handles the community's procedures, such as the passport, consular ID and civil registrations.
The office is located at 1990 M Street NW, in the heart of the capital, just steps from the District of Columbia's office and embassy district. From here it serves the large Honduran and Central American community of the Washington metropolitan area, which is concentrated mostly across the river, in Maryland, in neighborhoods such as Langley Park, Hyattsville, Wheaton and Riverdale Park.
How to book a consular appointment in Washington D.C.
The consular section works with the official CitaConsular system. The Honduran passport and most procedures require a prior booking on the platform. Slots usually open on the 1st of each month, so log in early that day to improve your chances.

The Honduran community in the Washington metro area
The Washington D.C. area is home to one of the largest Central American communities on the East Coast. Although the embassy sits in the heart of the District of Columbia, most Honduran families live across the state line, in Prince George's County, Maryland. Langley Park and Hyattsville are its epicenter: one of the most distinctly Central American areas in the entire country, with thousands of Hondurans and Salvadorans.
To this you can add communities in Wheaton, Riverdale Park and other Maryland suburbs, as well as northern Virginia. Many work in construction, hospitality, cleaning and the services that keep the capital running. If you are coming to the consular section from these neighborhoods, plan your trip downtown and parking carefully, and book your appointment ahead of time.
Frequently asked questions about the Honduran Consulate in Washington D.C.
Are the Honduran embassy and consulate in Washington the same thing?
In Washington D.C. there is the Embassy of Honduras and, within it, a Consular Section. The embassy handles relations with the U.S. Government; the consular section handles the community's procedures, such as the passport or consular ID. There is no separate consulate general in the capital.
Where is the Honduran consular office in Washington?
It is at 1990 M Street NW, in downtown Washington, D.C. 20036. Sources mention Suite 104; if you find any doubt about the exact suite number, confirm it when you reach the building or call by phone.
I live in Maryland, does this office serve me?
Yes. Much of the area's Honduran community lives in Maryland, in neighborhoods such as Langley Park, Hyattsville or Wheaton, and the Washington consular section serves that area. Confirm your consular district when booking if you live farther away.
Can I renew my passport without an appointment in Washington?
The passport is requested by prior appointment on CitaConsular. While some services are handled on a first-come basis, for the passport you must book at citaconsular.sreci.gob.hn, where slots usually open on the 1st of each month.
What documents should I bring to my appointment?
It depends on the procedure, but generally you need prior Honduran identification (passport or birth certificate), proof of address and, where applicable, documents for minors. Check the details when booking so you do not have to come back.
Does the consular section process Honduras TPS?
No. TPS is handled by USCIS, a U.S. government agency, not by the consular office. The consular section can help you with Honduran documents such as the passport or consular ID. See our updated Honduras TPS guide.
