consular services

Diplomatic citizen support

Consular services are the assistance a country's government provides to its citizens abroad through embassies and consulates.

These include issuing passports and visas, helping with lost documents, providing aid during emergencies, and assisting citizens who are arrested, hospitalized, or stranded: The embassy's consular services helped us get emergency passports after ours were stolen.
