Turkish missions and areas of responsibility in the US

There are seven missions providing consular services to Turkish citizens in the US: the Consular Section of the Embassy in Washington and the consulates general in New York, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Boston, and Miami. Each mission is responsible for specific states, and as a rule you carry out your procedures at the mission responsible for the state where you live. On this page, you will find each mission's area of responsibility, address, telephone number, duty (emergency) line, email address, and working hours; honorary consulates, mobile consular services, and the 24/7 call center.

• Embassy in Washington (Consular Section): District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia
• Consulate General in New York: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware

• The state of Washington (such as Seattle) is under Los Angeles. Washington, DC, the capital, is within the Embassy's area of responsibility.
• For some procedures, the area of responsibility is determined not by where you live but by where the event occurred:
  • For birth registration in New York, the child must have been born in a state within New York's area of responsibility.
  • Each consulate general authenticates signatures and seals on documents issued by US authorities only for documents from states within its own area.
  • Applications for death registration and a certificate for transporting remains may be made to all missions in the US (see 11.8 Transporting remains and death procedures).
  • Renewal of a Turkish driver's license is carried out at the mission where your address declaration is registered.

Hours are local time. For emergencies outside working hours, each mission has a separate duty telephone number; this line is not for appointments or general questions.

  • Los Angeles required a copy of each applicant's identity card or passport to be attached to the email.
  • A separate appointment is required for each person, including family members.

If you are considering going to another mission, ask that mission first.
• Can I make an appointment by telephone or email? The Consulate General in Boston explicitly states that appointments are not made by telephone or email. Appointments are made through konsolosluk.gov.tr; see 11.2 Consular appointments.
• Whom should I call in an emergency outside working hours? Call the duty telephone of the mission responsible for you or the 24/7 Consular Call Center (+1 888 566 7656).
• Does an honorary consulate issue passports? Honorary consulates are not included in the list of missions in the US offering appointments on konsolosluk.gov.tr. Passport applications are made in person and by appointment at the Embassy or consulates general.
