Representatives from the American Citizen Services (ACS) unit of the U.S. Embassy in Quito will visit Cotacachi on September 9, 2025, to provide notarial and passport services. The event will take place at Municipio de Cotacachi, located at González Suárez y García Moreno.
U.S. citizens planning to use these services are asked to bring correctly filled applications, along with originals and photocopies of their citizenship documents such as passports and birth certificates. For children under the age of 16, age progression photos and parents' IDs are also required. Only one copy per document is necessary.
The embassy advises visitors to consult its website for forms and detailed instructions regarding passport services: https://ec.usembassy.gov/passports/.
According to information provided by the U.S. Embassy in Ecuador, ACS units periodically travel to various locations outside of Quito to offer consular services locally. This initiative aims to assist U.S. citizens residing or traveling in areas far from the main embassy location.
