U.S. Citizen Services

Notice

On March 11, 2019, the Department of State announced the temporary suspension of operations of U.S. Embassy Caracas and withdrawal of diplomatic personnel. All consular services are suspended.

Overview

One can become a U.S. Citizen through a variety of means—birth in the United States, birth abroad to a U.S. citizen parent, or through the naturalization process.  For all of these, a specific series of legal requirements must be met. At the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Venezuela, we can provide certification of U.S. citizenship for eligible individuals born abroad to U.S. citizen parents.  We also processes Certificates of Loss of Nationality for those U.S. citizens who would like to give up their U.S. citizenship or believe that they have expatriated themselves.

For routine services such as U.S. passports, Consular Reports of Birth Abroad, and notarial services, visit the U.S. Embassy in Bogota.
