Which Guatemalan office issues passports and visas?
Passports and other formal consular services for Guatemalan citizens are handled by the Guatemalan Embassy in Jerusalem (accredited to Cyprus).
Note: Guatemala has no resident embassy in Nicosia; its embassy in Jerusalem is accredited to Cyprus.
What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Guatemala and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Guatemalan citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
