The U.S. Consulate provides a variety of services to U.S. citizens including:
LOST OR STOLEN PASSPORT SERVICES: An application for a replacement U.S. passport
can be made at of any U.S. consulate or consular agency. Replacement passport applications,
however, are sent to Madrid, where the actual passport is issued. To apply for a new passport,
you need the following items: one form of identification verifying your citizenship, one form of
identification with your photo and signature, two U.S. passport sized photos, and approximately
85 EUR. If your passport was stolen, you will also need to provide the denuncia (police report).
A replacement passport generally takes at least three weeks to arrive, if you are applying via
a consular agency. If you need your passport in less than three weeks, you’ll have to travel to
Madrid and apply for the passport in person. In urgent cases, a new passport can be produced
in 24 hours or less. Keep in mind that if you have a lost passport kit (see the section on security
issues), you will save yourself time and make this process much easier.
LEGAL SERVICES: According to the Consular Convention between Spain and the United States,
U.S. citizens have the right to contact a Diplomatic or Consular Officer in the event of an arrest. It
is recommended that no statements be made until consultation with a Consular Officer has taken
place. In some instances, the Instituto de Cooperación Iberoamericana (Dept. of North America
and Europe) can also be of assistance.
NOTARY PUBLIC: Documents can be notarized for a small fee.
TAX ASSISTANCE: Income tax forms are available. Once a year, generally in February, a tax
expert from the Paris Embassy visits Seville to advise U.S. citizens who need assistance.
OTHER SERVICES: The U.S. Embassy in Madrid and the Consulate in Seville have printed information
on the following topics: Lists of Attorneys and Legal Advice; U.S. Customs Regulations;
Absentee Voting; Marriage Formalities in Spain; Spanish Employment Regulations; Social
Security Benefits; Custom Procedures for Americans Moving to Spain; and Automobiles in Spain.
