Beginning November 16, we will resume limited routine processing of U.S. passport and CRBA applications, as well as offer notarial services on Mondays and Wednesdays. All service requests are by appointment only.
All application, fee, and documentation requirements for passports, CRBAs and notarial services apply. Please pay particular attention to the requirements regarding copies and original documentation, including original, properly notarized DS-3053 and DS-2029 forms. If you fail to bring all required documents to your appointment, you should expect a significant delay in scheduling a follow-up appointment. You will not be permitted to return the day of your appointment with the missing items (e.g.. passport photos).
Please note that capacity is limited and applicants should expect significant wait times for consular service appointments.

We also continue to accept application requests for emergency, limited-validity passports for individuals with urgent business or medical travel. Please email DakarACS@state.gov and include a photo of your passport and information regarding your travel.

Applicants who arrive for their appointment carrying prohibited items, which include, but are not limited to electronics, liquids, sharp objects, food, and bags or purses, will not be permitted to enter the Embassy. No storage is available, so please make arrangements for these items prior to your visit to the Embassy.
