If you hold Romanian nationality and live within reach of Miami, this is the office your paperwork goes through. Consular work is unglamorous and exacting, and knowing what this post does before you turn up saves the wasted morning that catches most people out.
Below you will find the contact details on record, what the office typically handles, how appointments work and the questions people ask most before travelling to Miami.
📞 Quick Contact
- Address: 1101 Brickell AVE N600, Miami
- Phone: (305) 763-8714
- Official website: http://miami.mae.ro
- Type of office: Consulate General
🛂 Services normally available
What follows is the usual range for a consulate general of this size. The office itself is the authority on what it actually does:
- Passports: applications and renewals for Romanian nationals, with personal attendance required because of the biometric data.
- Civil status: births, marriages and deaths occurring here have to be entered in the home register, and that is done through the consulate.
- Powers of attorney: drawn up or witnessed here for use at home. The wording should come from the lawyer or notary who will use it.
- Assistance: the part of consular work nobody plans for. An arrest, a hospital, a death in the family, documents gone.
- Visas: the counter still matters for the categories online systems do not cover, which is most things beyond tourism.
📅 Before you book
Assume you need one. The exceptions are rare and tend to exist for emergencies rather than for convenience.
Use the office’s own channel. Sites that charge for slots are intermediaries, and consulates warn against them regularly.
If you are travelling a long way, telephone first to confirm the appointment still stands. Closures are announced at short notice.
🤝 Worth knowing before you go
Districts get redrawn. If you last used this office years ago, confirm it still covers you.
Check that names and dates match across every document you bring. Mismatches stop files more often than missing papers do.
Consular processing is slower than any commercial service and the timetable is not negotiable. Start early.
Before you travel to the consulate general in Miami
Does this office handle passports?
It usually does, by appointment and with personal attendance for biometrics. Ask whether the booklet is collected at the counter or posted out.
Is it worth calling ahead?
Yes, and it saves wasted journeys. Call (305) 763-8714 and ask what they need and how they take payment — cards are the exception rather than the rule.
What if I lose my passport days before a flight?
That does not go through the ordinary appointment queue. Call and say it is an emergency: for imminent travel most networks issue a travel document valid for a single journey.
Where can I check the official information?
On the office’s own site at miami.mae.ro, which is the source to follow.
How do I know which office is mine?
By the consular district assigned to it, not by distance. It is the first thing worth asking on the phone.
Do I need a visa to visit Romania?
That depends on your nationality and the length of the trip. Where Romania does require one, it is increasingly applied for online rather than at a counter.
How do I find the office once I get there?
It is at 1101 Brickell AVE N600 in Miami. Allow extra time if you are arriving by public transport, because queues tend to form before opening.
