Consular formalities for Swedish nationals in and around Honolulu 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.
The contact details on record, the usual services, how bookings are handled and the practical traps are all set out below.

🛂 What you can do here
Most posts of this kind cover the ground below. The office is the only authority on its own remit:
- Visas: where the destination still requires one. The online route has replaced the counter for short visits in most networks.
- Passports: issue and renewal for Swedish nationals. Check which documents prove your identity before booking, because the list is longer than people assume.
- Documents: authentication of Swedish and American papers for use on the other side. Which route applies depends on whether the country is in the Apostille Convention.
- Powers of attorney and notarial acts: signed in front of a consular officer, which usually saves the whole legalisation chain afterwards.
- Civil status: the route by which an American certificate becomes a Swedish one. It matters for inheritance, property and later passports.
📅 Arranging a visit
The appointment is usually the bottleneck. Slots at the busier posts are released in batches and disappear the same morning.
How this post takes bookings is published on its own site. Whatever the method, booking through the official channel is free.
Check what the office takes as payment. Exact change, or a money order made out precisely as instructed, is a common requirement.
🤝 Things worth checking first
Before anything else, confirm that this post covers where you live. It is the single most common reason a trip to Honolulu is wasted.
Document names cause more delay than anything else. American records drop accents and reorder surnames, and consular offices need the discrepancy explained before they will act.
Keep copies of everything you submit and every receipt. If a file goes astray, they are what reconstructs it.
What people ask most
Is there a site with the current fees?
Yes: www.swedenabroad.se/en/embassies/usa-new-york publishes the current tariff, which is usually revised annually.
Can I renew a Swedish passport here?
Passport work is standard across the Swedish consular network, though not every post performs it. Confirm before travelling.
Does it handle visas for U.S. citizens travelling to Sweden?
Many countries have moved visitor visas online, so the consulate may have no role at all. Check whether Sweden requires one from U.S. citizens before contacting the office.
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 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.
What is the address in Honolulu?
It is 700 Bishop ST 2100. Many posts share a building with unrelated offices, so find the specific door before you turn up.
