Consulate General of the Netherlands

One of my friends needed to renew his Dutch passport so I accompanied him to the Netherlands Consulate Services. All visitors for such services need to make advance online appointments which can become rather confusing since the web site is listed under «Dutchappointments» but more specifically being
. I would also say confusing because of the interchangeability of words for the country, as being either Holland or the Netherlands but with the people being referred to as Dutch. Indeed, I onetime recall one of our many not to bright (and we do have a lot of them) U. S. Customs agents hauling one of my friends away when we were entering the United States. I enquired what the problem might be and was told that when questioned he had said he was from Holland but his passport indicated that he wasn’t at all from Holland but in fact from the Netherlands. Go figure that one! LOL!
Anyway, the Dutch or Netherlands Consulate Services, whichever, occupies a small but comfortable space on Brickell with the staff being very multilingual. Besides doing passports or merely attending to matters involving citizenship, they are friendly enough to chat with anyone interested in visiting Holland, having some brochures and travel information available and able to answer most any question you may have.
