03 · Process

Step by step

  1. Decide whether you need an appointment

    Since August 2025 every US consulate serves passport, DPI and consular card walk-ins, except Nashville and Atlanta. If you prefer an appointment, book it by phone only, on your consulate's number.

  2. Update your details with RENAP first

    A name change must be made with RENAP first.

  3. Attend with originals

    Consulates also hold one “consular Saturday” a month.

  4. Receive the passport

    At consulates with a printing centre, the same day.

04 · Booking

Appointments

The ConsulApp Guate app was switched off in July 2025. Appointments are free and by phone only, on each consulate's number published by MINEX; Nashville and Atlanta require one, as do mobile consulates. IGM and MINEX use no intermediaries.

ConsulMap is an independent directory. It neither manages nor sells appointments: this button opens an external official site.

05 · Your case

Who it applies to

  • Guatemalan adults, first passport or renewal.
  • Minors: 5-year passport only, with a parent or an authorised third party.
  • Anyone who only needs more validity: an 18-month sticker (free) or a 3-year sticker, once per passport issued since 2013.

06 · Avoid a repeat visit

Common mistakes

  • Bringing a DPI copy or application receipt: not accepted.
  • Presenting a damaged passport or one with torn pages as valid.
  • Requesting the 10-year passport for a minor.
  • Paying middlemen: appointments are free.
  • Looking for an appointment in the old ConsulApp: it no longer works.

07 · About this guide

Scope of this guide

Guatemalan passports are issued by the migration institute (IGM) and processed abroad by the consulates of the Foreign Ministry (MINEX). Consulates with a Passport Printing Centre print it on the spot: Phoenix, opened in August 2026, was the twentieth in the US.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a Guatemalan passport in the US?

USD 65 for 5 years and USD 100 for 10 years when applied for abroad. Minors can only get the 5-year passport.

Do I need an appointment at the Guatemalan consulate?

At almost every US consulate, no: since August 2025 they take walk-ins, except Nashville and Atlanta. Appointments, if you want one, are booked by phone.

Can I extend validity without a new passport?

Yes, with a sticker: 18 months free if at least 2 blank sheets remain, or 3 years if 4 remain. Once per passport, for passports issued since 2013.
