Directory of Services to American Citizens
There are two principal functions of the consular section of any U.S. Embassy. The first is to issue visas to foreigners who wish to travel to the United States (as immigrants or non-immigrants) and the second is to help U.S. citizens who are abroad, either resident abroad or traveling. A wide range of services is available to American Citizens at the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa, and these can be broken down into emergency and non-emergency services.
Emergency Services
Non-Emergency Services
In addition to emergency and non-emergency services, the consular section can help with absentee voting, Selective Service registration, IRS tax forms, notarize documents, advise on property claims, and assist with the personal estates of deceased U.S. citizens who do not have family in Honduras.
In addition to our services in Tegucigalpa, we offer consular outreach hours one day a month in San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba. These visits are for non-emergency American Citizen services and are generally held during the first week of each month. For more information on specific dates, times, or services, please contact us by telephone or watch for information in your local newspaper.
In summary, there are a wide variety of ways in which the consular section can help out with either resident or transiting American citizens. We are located on the ground floor of the U.S. Embassy on Avenida La Paz in Tegucigalpa and are open to the public Monday through Friday (except for Honduran or American legal holidays) from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To contact us by telephone during regular business hours, please call 236-9320 or 238-5114. For after hours emergencies, please call 236-9325 and the Marines will locate a duty officer who will be able to assist you.
