In any other matter, a new appointment date should be set up by email - address: houston.kg.sekretariat@msz.gov.pl.

The Consulate will continue to provide assistance to Polish citizens in emergency and urgent situations. Such circumstances should be reported by calling the emergency number (tel. +1 713 231 8491).

Please also note that from Monday, March 16th, 2020, until further notice:

  1. Scheduling new visits to the E-consulate system will not be possible.

  3. All persons submitting a passport application are requested to prepare the documentation very carefully: completed passport application, passport dispatch application, any other documents, e.g. regarding applicable discount, with necessary copies, before arriving at the Consulate. We recommend using the option of collecting issued passports by post (additional fee of 18 USD).
  4. Pre-arranged visits regarding confirmation of signature and trusted profile will be arranged in person. The Consulate will also continue receiving persons who apply for a consul's certificate for the transport of corpses or human remains. However, please consider not to apply in the near future for the abovementioned activities, unless there us a true necessity. Regarding legal and citizenship matters, please first contact us by mail - address: houston.kg.sekretariat@msz.gov.pl or by phone - telephone number: +1 713 479 6770. In all remaining cases, please send requests by post, with Money Order attached - please check the amount of the consular fee.

  6. Accepting and issuing school IDs will only be possible by correspondence.
  7. We suggest that payments for all consular activities be made in the form of Money Order - please check the amount of the consular fee.

In urgent matters requiring an appointment (e.g. a trip that is documented and impossible to postpone, issuing a consul's certificate for the transport of corpses), please contact us first by correspondence - email address: houston.kg.sekretariat@msz.gov.pl.

Useful information and answers to frequently asked questions on all aspects of the consulate's activities can be found on the website in the consular information section.

The above changes in the work organization of offices do not limit access to the consular office for Polish citizens in the area of consular assistance in urgent situations requiring immediate action or intervention by the consul.

We appreciate your support and understanding.
