Albanian Consulate in New York in New York, New York

“Three weeks ago I applied for the renewal of my passport and Albanian ID. Ms. Valentina was a huge help. She was very professional, very quick, very kind, and she knew exactly what she was doing. I was very stressed out about the renewal of my passport however the emails were answered in a very timely manner and the communication in person was very clear. I hadn’t brought the money order with me the day of the appointment which Ms. Manjola and Ms. Valentina told me I could go within that time frame and purchase it. Due to their flexibility I was able to send the application on time. Very thank”

“For over 20 years in NYC I don’t had any need to contact our consulate in New York.But now that I want to connect with e-albania for retairement I realize that I don’t have the right documents.

“The worst eveeeeeeer!! They never ever pick up the phone! They get all ur docs and never even try to explain or say anything if completed or where the case is! You live out the state of Albania and they ask you to reach to e-Albania portal. Try to reach out e-Albania they say to contact to the consulate. You would never ever get the job done no matter how hard time u had to collect and sent all documents they asked for and for over 1 year they still dont give any response on what they are doing with a simple case just to register your child. Its more easy to take the trip to Albania then to de”

Unfortunately I didn’t get the other lady name (the one that did fingerprints and photos ) she was amazing also . I also noted they were super patient with visitors and working non stop. Although working , out of an old freezing building with No Heat . Best wishes to all Albanian staff working in consulate , we appreciate your hard work . Faleminderit 🇦🇱.

“I had an excellent experience from my appointment today at the consulate when I went with my mother to renew her passport and the carte ID. Valentina was very helpful with all the questions that I had and she was very professional in every aspect. I had a much better experience this time compared with my visit to the consulate 3 years ago. Thank you.”

“The first lady who takes copies of your passport and ID is so rude and unprofessional Asked her a question about do you take credit cards and her reply was no but I hope u got enough money on your debit and I was shocked. I dont think she has a degree in art to do suck jokes or whatever she might call it. The second lady was professional and knew how to do her job and be respectful towards you”

“I had a really great experience. Due to COVID I couldn’t travel to Albania, so I had to renew my passport at the Albanian Consulate. Wrote an email to the Consulate and in an hour I received a very detailed email from the Counsellor Najada Sojli. A very comprehensive step by step informations and the fees would apply for the passport renewal. In less than a week Ireceived the confirmation that my application was approved and an appointment was scheduled for me at the Consulate to do the fingerprints. The day of my appointment everything was so organized and smooth. Social distancing, everyo”

“I recently renewed my passport and I was very happy with the service that I received. Najada was the person who completed my application, she was a nice person and very professional. More people like her should be working in the public administration. The waiting time was reasonable.”
