U.S. Citizen Services
The Consulate offers the full range of services to American citizens.
The Consulate's business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 12:30 and 1:30 to 5:30pm, except Portuguese and American holidays.
In order to minimize customer waiting times and ensure staff availability, the all routine services including passport applications and notarizations will be provided by appointment only. Applicants for routine, non-emergency services are requested to contact the Consulate by telephone (296-282-216) or email (ConsPontaDelgada@state.gov) at least 2 working days in advance to schedule the time of their visit. Walk-ins will be accepted in emergency cases only.
American citizens are welcome to visit the Consulate anytime during business hours. However, workload and staffing levels may limit the time and personnel we can spontaneously allocate to non-emergency matters. For emergencies outside of business hours, American citizens can call the Consulate (296-282-216) to obtain the cell phone number of the current Officer on Duty.
