Visiting and Contacting
Citizen Services
Welcome
The American Citizen Services office at the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá and the U.S. Consular Agency in Barranquilla both provide assistance to U.S. citizens in Colombia. At each location, American citizens can apply for U.S. passports, document their foreign-born children as U.S. citizens, and request help in an emergency. Both locations also notarize documents for use in the United States and provide assistance to recipients of Social Security and other U.S. federal benefits.
For general information, please explore the links on your left, or send an email to ACSBogota@state.gov. Please also see our information on visiting and contacting the American Citizen Services Office in Bogotá. If you are currently on or near Colombia’s north coast, we encourage you to visit the U.S. Consular Agency in Barranquilla for many routine consular services.
If you have an emergency concerning a U.S. citizen in Colombia, please see our emergency contact information.
