Consular Notification and Access

The Consular Notification and Access division operates under the U.S. Department of State, providing important assistance and information regarding consular services for foreign nationals in the United States. This includes ensuring that individuals are promptly notified of their right to communicate with their consulates if arrested or detained, thereby upholding mutual obligations established through international treaties.

In addition to facilitating consular notification, the division also addresses the needs of foreign nationals who are seriously injured, sick, have died, or are placed under guardianship. Through established procedures, the division provides support to ensure that foreign governments can communicate with their citizens and offer necessary assistance during critical situations.
