List of consular districts of the United States

NOTE: Beijing will handle nonemergency ACS and visa services until Wuhan has the staff and facilities to do so.

NOTE: Consulate Nagoya has reporting responsibilities for these 3 prefectures and provides emergency American citizen services (ACS). Osaka staff covers routine ACS in Nagoya through monthly visits (by appointment) or at CG Osaka-Kobe.

Anomaly: Jinmen and Mazu. The Taiwan Relations Act defines “Taiwan” as consisting of the island of Taiwan and the Pescadores (Penghu). This U.S. statutory definition of Taiwan omits mention of the Taiwan-held Fujianese islands of Jinmen (Kinmen, Quemoy) and Mazu (Matsu). It therefore appears that AIT officers are not authorized under the TRA or 1997 designations by the Secretary and A/S to perform notarial acts or to execute U.S. passport or visa laws on the islands of Jinmen or Mazu, and that U.S. citizens born there cannot elect “Taiwan” as the place of birth on their passports.

However, the Government of Viet Nam requires advance notice and approval before commencing an official visit to any of the following 11 provinces: Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dac Lac, Dac Nong, Lam Dong, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, Dong Thap, An Giang, Soc Trang, and Kien Giang
