Starting October 1, 2011

Every applicant requesting a consular report of birth abroad, passport and/or notary services, must bring their own set of copies along with the original documents.  Unfortunately, as per US government regulations we are required to charge US$1 per copy taken at the Embassy.  We are sorry for the inconvenience. 

For better service please have your passport application complete with photographs 15 minutes before your appointment. Please note that you may be asked to reschedule your appointment if you are more than 30 minutes late.
