Before you go
Not every post does passport work
Many consulates handle limited American Citizen Services, and a few handle none at all. Always confirm the service list on the post's own website before travelling to it.
Appointments are the norm
Almost all overseas passport and notarial services are appointment-only, and slots can be booked weeks ahead. Emergency travel is handled through a separate urgent request channel.
Hours vary by post
Posts follow local holidays as well as U.S. federal holidays, so published counters hours change often. We link to the official page rather than repeating hours that could be out of date.
Contact details from usembassy.gov post listings. Hours, appointment systems, and the exact service menu are set by each post — always confirm on the official page. PassportOffices is a private, independent resource and is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of State or any government agency.
