The State Department cautions that other embassies, consulates or posts may temporarily close or suspend public services at any time in the weeks ahead for security reasons.  In light of the fluid situation, we strongly recommend that those requiring services at any U.S. post abroad contact the post directly for the latest information on closings and limitations on services.

Contact information for individual embassies and consulates is available on the Department of State's website at http://travel.state.gov/links.html, you may also link to the embassies through the Jackson & Hertogs home page.  Also, we recommend that anyone planning to travel read our travel pages.
