Consular district and how to reach the Denver consulate

The Denver consulate serves Guatemalans in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, North Dakota and South Dakota — the largest district by area in the Guatemalan consular network in the US. The building at 3195 S Wadsworth Blvd, Suite 201 is in Lakewood, southwest of downtown Denver. By car, take US-285 West or Alameda Ave to Wadsworth Blvd and head south. On public transport, the RTD W Line links downtown Denver with Lakewood; from the nearest station a bus or rideshare will get you to the door. Parking around Wadsworth Blvd is usually free in the adjacent shopping-centre lots.

How to book an appointment at the Guatemalan consulate in Denver

An appointment is required for every procedure. Book it on the MINEX portal or by calling the consulate. Select EE.UU. – Denver and the service you need. If you are travelling from a distant state such as Wyoming or Montana, the consulate can tell you exactly which documents to bring so the trip is worth it.

The Guatemalan consulate for the Rocky Mountains and the High West

The Consulate General of Guatemala in Denver is in Suite 201 at 3195 S Wadsworth Blvd, in Lakewood, a city in the Denver metropolitan area just west of Denver itself. Lakewood is reachable by car on US-285 or Wadsworth Blvd, and by public transport on the RTD light rail (W line) from downtown Denver. This consulate has one of the largest districts in the entire Guatemalan consular network in the US, covering Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and the Dakotas. Despite that reach, most Guatemalans live along the Denver-Pueblo corridor and in northern Colorado, particularly in Greeley, Fort Collins and Longmont.

From the remotest towns in Wyoming or the Dakotas the consulate is more than eight hours away, so before travelling it is worth checking whether there is a mobile consular day nearer you.
