To find the status of your documents you must log in to your account in our system and upon viewing the applicant summary page you will see the status of pickup availability. The document status information only appears once your personal documents have been returned by the Consular Section for shipment to your designated DHL location. Please click here for detailed instructions on how to check the status of your shipment.

As the time it takes to adjudicate an applicant's case is at the sole discretion of the Consular Section, we cannot provide you any information regarding when your personal documents will be turned over to DHL.

All applicants may use the standard free courier service to return documents. The documents will be shipped from the Consular Section to a courier branch selected during the registration process on this website.

Applicants can also select Premium Courier Delivery for an additional fee to have the documents returned to a business or home address. Applicants will enter a mailing address and use a credit card to complete the Premium Courier Delivery transaction. The fee is paid per applicant, so in the case of a family the fee must be paid per person.

Should the applicant choose to purchase Premium Courier Delivery, please note that the courier will only go to the address during business hours (Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 6:00PM) and there is no guarantee of an exact date or time the package will be delivered. It is strongly recommended that the documents be shipped to a business address to ensure someone is available to receive the documents.

Premium Courier Delivery Terms and Conditions:

• Courier delivers during business days and hours
• Courier attempts to deliver between 2 or 3 times at the requested address. In case the delivery is not successful the shipment is returned to the default courier branch that was selected during the registration process
• Courier delivers the shipment to whomever is available at applicant´s address (restricted to adults)
• For business address destinations, DHL delivers to the Mailroom, Lobby Security Desk or receptionist, based on the destination office policy
• IMPORTANT: Once you attend to the visa application interview at the Consulate you MUST NOT change the delivery address. The system will accept the change but it will not be reflected in the other systems.

Please follow the instructions for Premium Service after you have logged into the website.
