Embassies and consulates are required by law to allow third parties to attend passport, Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA), and other American Citizen Services appointments that take place on-site. This guidance does not apply to services provided off-site, such as arrest visits, welfare and whereabouts checks, or outreach events, and does not extend to any visa services.

Applicants may be physically accompanied by a third-party of their own choice at their own expense; this may include attorneys, interpreters/translators, family members, and/or caregivers. There are no restrictions on who may accompany an applicant to an appointment. However, applicants and third parties remain subject to all policies, security directives, and guidelines regarding admission to or conduct in an embassy or consulate, including but not limited to those regarding security, identification, screening, electronic devices, recording, and health. Attendance by an attorney and/or other third party at the appointment does not excuse the personal appearance of the applicant or the applicant’s parent/legal guardian as otherwise required.

All minor children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Given space limitations in the consular section, no more than one attendee at a time will be allowed to accompany an applicant (or the applicant’s parents or guardians if the applicant is a minor).
