The Royal Norwegian Consulate in San Juan, PR represents the Government of Norway and embodies a rich legacy of Norwegian-American partnership rooted in deep historical ties. Norway and the United States share a special relationship spanning nearly two centuries, with over one-third of Norway's population emigrating to America between 1825 and 1940. This enduring connection continues today as the two nations remain steadfast allies, having fought together during World War II and serving as co-founders of both the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Operating as an Honorary Consulate staffed by dedicated individuals appointed by the Norwegian Government, this office in San Juan serves the Puerto Rico community by promoting Norwegian interests and fostering bilateral cooperation. The consulate's representatives work on a voluntary basis to provide essential support to Norwegian citizens while advancing mutual understanding between Norway and the United States. Through various services including election administration, language examinations, notary assistance, and immigration guidance, the consulate maintains the vital connection between Norway and the communities it serves in San Juan and beyond.
The consulate's mission extends beyond administrative functions to include cultural exchange and relationship-building. By answering questions about Norwegian life, travel opportunities, and relocation possibilities, the consulate helps nurture the strong people-to-people connections that have defined Norwegian-American relations for generations. This commitment to service reflects Norway's appreciation for the enduring partnership with the United States and its communities.
