North Carolina, Raleigh- The Guatemalan passport is the travel document through which Guatemalan citizens can prove their identity and nationality.
These are the steps you must follow to process it in North Carolina.
How to process the Guatemalan passport?
The first requirement to process the Guatemalan passport is have an appointment at the consulate, as explained by the Consul General of Guatemala in North Carolina, Jorge Archila.
You must contribute at least one of the following documents:
- DPI (Personal Identification Document)
- Recent Birth Certificate (maximum six months after it was issued).
The minutes must have their unique identification code, but if they do not have it assigned, they can send a photograph of the minutes to consulate, who will be in charge of sending it to Guatemala so that the next certificate purchased contains all the requirements.
Having one of these documents, the interested party can attend their appointment by paying $65 via money order.
Another important aspect is to provide proof of your address, such as a water, electricity, or telephone bill, vehicle registration, apartment or house contract.
This receipt does not necessarily have to be in the name of the applicant. In reality, it is required to know the address to which the passport will be sent later.
“The Guatemalan passport currently takes between four and six weeks. Sometimes it comes a little faster.” This was what Consul Archila reported. “We hope that by the end of the year we will have our printing center here inside the consulate to deliver the passport on the same day of the appointment,” the official explained.
What is a passport and what is it used for?
The passport is a travel document issued to citizens of each country that authenticates their identity and nationality.
The passport is the most secure identity document, accepted by the authorities.
It is used to identify yourself before the port authorities of a country abroad and within it, before any private or public organization.
