Japanese consulates in Florida

Florida is the whole of the Miami district and nothing else. Puerto Rico, despite the distance and the shared ocean, belongs to New York rather than to Miami.

Which Japanese consulate covers Florida?

Florida is covered by Consulate-General of Japan in Miami, and that is the office that handles passports, visas, certificates and family register entries for anyone living here.

What you can settle without going

  • You can register your address abroad through ORR net instead of at the counter.
  • You can download and fill in the passport application form before your appointment.
  • You can have the Certificate of Eligibility applied for in Japan by your sponsor.

    • If you only need a certificate or a registration, check whether it can travel by mail before you plan the drive.

    This is an independent guide. It is not the Japanese government, and it does not process applications or book appointments. Details change: check anything that decides a trip against the office itself.
