French consulate in Caguas
For French paperwork, Caguas depends on a consulate in another city. Its consulate is the Consulate General of France in Miami; from Caguas you get there by plane.
Which French consulate covers Caguas?
It is a matter of geography: Puerto Rico is in the district of the Consulate General of France in Miami, and so is Caguas.
Getting a passport from Caguas means flying to Miami.
Registration on its Registre saves the second flight: the passport is sent back if you provide USPS Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express with tracking for Florida, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands (DHL or FedEx for the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and Turks and Caicos); without it, the passport waits to be picked up, without an appointment, Monday to Thursday 9 am to noon and 2 to 4 pm.
For the ID card, which never travels by mail, ask when you apply for the handover by the honorary consul in San Juan (270 Muñoz Rivera Avenue, Suite 301, 13 miles from Caguas in a straight line), if that consul is authorized; it costs $11.35 (€10).
