OUR PROCESSING TIMES:
Overseas stay and travel is a pleasure,
especially if you are well prepared and allow
adequate time to organize your travel
documentation.
Consulate General of Slovakia in New York
always does its best to keep your application
processing times to a minimum.
In return we kindly ask that you apply for your
travel documents/ passports and other
documents needed (vital records, citizenship
certificates etc.) well in advance.
You should also be aware of the extra time
needed for your application to be forwarded to
Slovak authorities and then sent back to our
Consulate. Our Consulate is responsible for
initial processing of the applications, not for
issuing the documents/ vital records/ passports
etc. (those are being issued by responsible
authorities in Slovakia).
You can help keep processing times to a
minimum by ensuring you provide everything
we require at the time you lodge your
application. For your convenience, we
launched a comprehensive website where you
can check all the documents needed to submit
your application (URL: www.mzv.sk/nyc)
Delays may be encountered if supporting
information and documentation are not
supplied at the interview.

Consulate General of Slovakia in New York
kindly asks you to know the exact date of your
application submission and your application
number (always indicated in down left corner of
the administrative fee receipt) while requesting
further information regarding your application.
Without these information we cannot effectively
proceed your requests.
Please be respectful to other applicants and
kindly limit your enquiries regarding your
application status to solely urgent matters. This
will allow us to spend working time more
effectively and eventually improve our service.
