Opapeleo operates as one of the agencies of the Cuban consulate in the United States. These entities are located all over the United States, and represent an extension of the diplomatic institution in terms of the provision of services. In the following post, we take a closer look at why you should choose the services of Opapeleo to perform your procedures with the Cuban consulate in Washington, D.C.
Why Choosing an Intermediary Agency Instead of Dealing Directly With the Consulate?
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cuban diplomatic headquarters have remained closed for face-to-face procedures. Their courier and mail system is active, but using them is difficult for most procedures, as the consulate also has other responsibilities and as there is only one consulate (while there are many agencies) the procedures will vary and are less personalised than those you can get with an agency such as Opapeleo.
However, differences and particularities do exist between these consulate units, which influence the quality of the service they provide, the speedy completion of procedures and the results of these procedures.
Important Factors When Considering Choosing Opapeleo’s Services
- Geographical location close to the Cuban consulate in Washington d.C.
- Secure method of shipment and reception
- Providing services according to your needs (online, via phone call, in person).
- 24-hour availability to inform and assist our clients.
- A website with up-to-date and comprehensive information regarding the services.
- Payment and signature means according to existing technological possibilities
Some of these agencies also provide non-consular services. For example, they perform international top-ups from the United States to Cuba (a service in great demand by Cubans abroad) and handle parcel deliveries to the island.
Now you know a little more about the consulate agencies, their services and potential advantages, you are invited to learn more about the specific features we offer and why you should use our services any time you need them.
Geographical Location Close to the Consulate
Opapeleo’s offices are located in Washington DC itself, just a few metres from the consulate, making the processing times among the most appealing of all agencies. You can reach us either in person, by telephone or online. If by accident or lack of knowledge you have approached the consulate to perform any of your procedures or to obtain information about them, please contact our offices and we will help you with everything you need.
New Payment and Delivery Methods
The rates for the consulate’s services are fixed and the agencies cannot modify them under any circumstances. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us or visit the website: misiones.cubaminrex.cu to find out the prices of each service.

Online Passport Renewal Without Leaving Home: Digital Signature
