All diplomatic missions in Nicaragua are located in Managua, mostly along Carretera Masaya and Carretera Sur. The city of Chinandega hosts consulates from El Salvador, Honduras, and Costa Rica, and the city of Rivas has a consulate from Costa Rica.
United States and Canada
Americans living or traveling in Nicaragua can register with the U.S. Embassy in Nicaragua (Kilometer 5.5, Carretera Sur, Managua, tel. 505/2252-7100, http://nicaragua.usembassy.gov) at the main international travel page of the U.S. State Department (www.travel.state.gov). Registering is not a legal requirement but is encouraged by the embassy so that they can send you updated travel and security advisories regarding Nicaragua.
These advisories—and the warden messages on the embassy website—are invariably on the conservative side, as far as risk assessment.
Other contacts: Information Resource Center (tel. 505/2252-7237) or American Citizens Services (ACS.Managua [at] state [dot] gov).
