Consular formalities for Filipino nationals in and around Broomfield are handled here. What that covers in practice differs from office to office, which is why it is worth reading what follows before booking anything.
This is an honorary consulate, which matters more than the name suggests. The services offered are a subset of what a career post provides, and anything involving biometrics or the issue of travel documents normally goes to the Filipino career office covering this district.

🛂 What this office handles
The remit of an honorary consulate is limited. Typically it extends to:
- Passports: honorary posts rarely issue them. They can normally tell you which career office is competent and what the file needs.
- Documents: authentication of Filipino and American papers for use on the other side. Which route applies depends on whether the country is in the Apostille Convention.
- Civil status: registering births, marriages and deaths that happened in the United States so they exist in the Filipino record.
- Visas: long stays, work and study almost always need a consular file even where short visits do not.
📅 Booking a visit
Waiting times swing with the season. Summer and the weeks before the school year are the worst of it.
How this post takes bookings is published on its own site. Whatever the method, booking through the official channel is free.
Have everything ready before you book: the forms filled in, the identity documents to hand, and the fee in the form the office accepts. Turning up short of one paper usually means starting again.
🤝 Using this office from Broomfield and around
Before anything else, confirm that this post covers where you live. It is the single most common reason a trip to Broomfield is wasted.
Bring more documentation than you think you need. Being sent home over one missing paper costs another appointment.
Keep copies of everything you submit and every receipt. If a file goes astray, they are what reconstructs it.
What people ask most
Where can I check the official information?
On the office’s own site at philconsulatecolo.wordpress.com, which is the source to follow.
How do I get hold of this office?
By telephone on (303) 885-9495. Note who you speak to and what you are told, because requirements differ between posts of the same country.
Does it handle visas for U.S. citizens travelling to the Philippines?
Many countries have moved visitor visas online, so the consulate may have no role at all. Check whether the Philippines requires one from U.S. citizens before contacting the office.
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 they deal with emergencies outside opening hours?
Genuine emergencies — detention, hospitalisation, the death of a relative, a stolen passport — are handled outside the appointment system. Say so when you call.
How do I find the office once I get there?
It is at 11880 Teller ST in Broomfield. Allow extra time if you are arriving by public transport, because queues tend to form before opening.
