Prenot@mi
The Prenot@mi platform allows you to book appointments for issuing a passport at the Consulate General in Houston.
An appointment must be made for each applicant. Family groups – in order to be received together – can make a multiple booking (max 4 people at a time). Please be careful at the number of appointment booked (the user + 2 persons makes 3 appointments). Due to the high number of requests, if not able to come, please cancel the appointment or promptly inform this office at passaporti.houston@esteri.it.
The unjustified absence will be negatively taken into consideration for a future booking.
Since minors are not authorized to create an account on Prenot@ami, the parent must make an appointment in their own name and enter the minor’s full name in the notes.
Every day (except Tuesday, Friday and Saturday) after 17:00 the system makes new appointments available. Canceled reservations will be made available immediately.
In case of unavailability, please try again at a later time.
We invite you to check your emails. You will be contacted ONLY if necessary.
