Spanish Consulate in Caracas announces schedule for resuming services after earthquakes

The Spanish Consulate General in Caracas has released a new schedule for public services, signaling a partial return to operations after a temporary suspension caused by earthquakes on June 24.

Starting July 14, the consulate resumed some in-person services at its former location within the Spanish Embassy in Caracas. Citizens can now access services for passport collection, visa retrieval, and aid applications between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

Specific time slots have been allocated for other procedures. Passport collection will be handled between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. daily. Applications for the Civil Registry, including those related to the Democratic Memory Law, will be processed from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., according to the published calendar.

Civil Registry appointments will be reinstated progressively, covering all types of registrations. The schedule includes pending appointments from June 25 to July 14, with new dates assigned through August 3. From August 4, the consulate will adhere to the originally scheduled appointment times.

The announcement follows the consulate's earlier communication about the temporary suspension of in-person services for safety reasons after the seismic events. Spain has maintained its diplomatic and consular services to assist its resident community in Venezuela amidst the ongoing recovery efforts.
