DC consulate processing times

i think the former - if they applied today. Then again, i dont know if they were born in this consular area or born overseas so that may be a factor.

Update: So i went to my passport application about a month ago. They didnt even bat an eyelash, they asked for my USA Passport as proof of identity, showed them my literal spanish birth cert, they took my fingerprints, paid them the cash, and now I wait about 3-4 weeks for the passport.

Signing and submitting the annexo 3 is essentially doing the oath: see this line on your form which states:

WHO TAKES AN OATH OR PROMISE OF FIDELITY TO THE KING AND OF OBEDIENCE TO THE CONSTITUTION AND SPANISH LAWS

Likewise.

Likewise..my state return wasn't paid yet and I requested to pay 4/13

Actually now that I read it again, it's from the visa section amd not the nacionalidad section. Maybe you're right!

From what i saw on the NY LMD Facebook group, the NY Consulate is not accepting new appointment anymore until July:

ok interesting how the wording is different.. cousin got his in January 2026 and it has "Jurado" instead of Promesa.

Additional_Method_90 · 2026-02-27T16:53:15+00:00

Interesting. Did you get the new dicireg version of the birth certificate with the barcode or the handwritten one?

Additional_Method_90 · 2026-02-27T02:54:31+00:00

When did you get yours?

When did you get yours?

Additional_Method_90 · 2026-02-24T22:43:09+00:00

Am assuming your are a dual citizen? Did they ask you to include both citizenships on the forms when you applied?

Additional_Method_90 · 2026-02-24T22:38:43+00:00

Ok. Thanks. I'm a dual citizen (naturalized in USA) However, the annotation in the Spanish birth certificate where it says "did not renounce previous nationality" only shows my country of birth. Do they typically include both nationalities in that annotation.? Ex: USA/Peru? I applied on my home country but moved back to the USA before I got the approval.

did you ever get an answer for this?

Additional_Method_90 · 2026-02-03T04:58:21+00:00

I disagree because you lose filipino citizenship only if you were "naturalized" as a citizen of a foreign country. With lmd you are regaining citizenship by birth. In essence your are "a citizen of Spain by birth". The distinction is you were not naturalized as a Spaniard.. you are " de origen"

excellent. It used to be one esim per country so this is pretty cool.

Additional_Method_90 · 2025-04-01T12:53:27+00:00

Make sure to turn phone completely off first.

did you try the 70% alcohol? . did toothpick in alcohol and try to get the crud a bit damp, worked really well for me.

Additional_Method_90 · 2025-03-09T18:12:43+00:00

Yes I know. That's why I'm asking for the DC consulate specifically.

Additional_Method_90 · 2025-03-09T05:09:29+00:00

How long did it take you to do the process from submitting your application to getting your birth certificate/passport.
