Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in New York

About Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in New York

The Indonesian consulate general in New York occupies a townhouse at 5 East 68th Street, a block off Central Park on the Upper East Side. The mission opened in 1951 in Rockefeller Center and moved to its present address in May 1965. Over the decades the building has become a small hub of Indonesian life in the city; the Javanese gamelan ensemble Kusuma Laras, listed separately in this directory, rehearses inside it.

The post covers the northeastern United States. Its consular district takes in fifteen states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. Indonesians across that stretch, from Boston down to the Carolinas, deal with New York rather than with the embassy in Washington, which handles government to government relations.

At the counter the work is the familiar consular range: issuing and renewing passports, registering births, marriages and deaths, notarial and legalisation services, and visas for foreign nationals travelling to Indonesia. The office also handles citizen protection, stepping in when an Indonesian national in the district faces detention, hospitalisation or the loss of documents.

Because the district is so large, the consulate leans on appointments booked through its online system rather than walk-ins, and it periodically sends mobile consular teams to other cities in the region so that people are not obliged to travel to Manhattan for routine paperwork. Passport and visa requirements are revised from time to time, so confirming the current list before a visit is worthwhile.

Beyond documents, the consulate is the organising point for Indonesian community and cultural events across the northeast, from national day gatherings to the performing arts programming that the gamelan in its own hall helps sustain.

The location is easy to reach. Fifth Avenue and the 68th Street Hunter College stop on the 6 subway line are both a short walk away, and the block sits inside the museum district that runs up the eastern edge of Central Park.
