Appointment Tips
In order to make your visit to the Consular Section as efficient and productive as possible, please note the following:
- Only people requiring services will be admitted. Please do not bring family members who do not need to attend the interview.
- Fill out your forms ahead of time. Your application will not be accepted until your forms are complete. All required forms are available on our website . In particular, if you are applying for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad , please complete a physical presence affidavit (PDF 15 KB) if only one parent is a U.S. citizen or if neither of two U.S. citizen parents was born in the U.S.
- Bring passport photos that meet our strict photo specifications.
- To facilitate access to the Consular Section, please carry only those items that are absolutely necessary. Please review our strict security requirements for more details.
- Come on time. You will be turned away and asked to make another appointment if you arrive more than half an hour late.
