The consulate in Seattle is the office that Cambodian nationals in this part of the United States deal with when they need something done officially: a passport that is about to expire, a document that has to be recognised back home, a birth that needs registering.
The contact details on record, the usual services, how bookings are handled and the practical traps are all set out below.

🛂 What this office handles
The services below are typical rather than guaranteed. Networks move work between offices without much announcement:
- Documents: the stamps that turn a domestic paper into one a foreign office will actually accept.
- Powers of attorney: the practical alternative to flying home for a signature.
- Emergencies: arrest, accident, serious illness or the death of a relative. Say it is an emergency when you call, because it changes how the call is handled.
- Visas: for travellers heading to Cambodia. Many countries have moved this online, so check whether a consular file is needed at all.
- Passports: issue and renewal for Cambodian nationals. Check which documents prove your identity before booking, because the list is longer than people assume.
- Civil status: registering births, marriages and deaths that happened in the United States so they exist in the Cambodian record.
📅 Booking a visit
Waiting times swing with the season. Summer and the weeks before the school year are the worst of it.
With no published booking system, the telephone is the way in. Ask what the office needs and whether it takes walk-ins for any service.
Confirm the exact fee before the visit. Consular tariffs are revised more often than most people expect, and several posts will not take a payment that is a dollar out.
🤝 Practical notes for Cambodian nationals in Seattle
Being in the same state is not the same as being in the district. Ask, because the answer decides where your file goes.
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.
Fees move with the calendar year and, in some networks, with the exchange rate every quarter. Confirm before paying.
What people ask most
What is the address in Seattle?
It is 1818 Westlake AVE N 315. Many posts share a building with unrelated offices, so find the specific door before you turn up.
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.
Can I renew a Cambodian passport here?
Passport work is standard across the Cambodian consular network, though not every post performs it. Confirm before travelling.
Does it handle visas for U.S. citizens travelling to Cambodia?
Many countries have moved visitor visas online, so the consulate may have no role at all. Check whether Cambodia requires one from U.S. citizens before contacting the office.
