If you are eligible to renew your passport by mail, please utilize this option to avoid visiting the embassy. We will not grant in-person appointments to applicants who are eligible to renew by mail and have the time to do so.
For our safety and the safety of other visitors, please reschedule your appointment if you feel unwell or have had contact in the past 5 days with any individuals presenting symptoms of COVID-19 (or experienced these symptoms yourself in the past 5 days). Visitors exhibiting symptoms consistent with COVID-19 may be turned away and rescheduled for a later date.
- Bring your own black pen to sign your application in front of the consular officer and copies of your supporting documents to minimize the spread of germs.
- Do not bring laptops. Avoid bringing bulky bags or unnecessary items that will slow down security screening and extend your contact with security screeners. If you bring a laptop, be aware your appointment may be canceled and rescheduled for a later date.
