Embassy & consulate finder
Your country has an embassy in Paris. There may be 1–3 consulates in regional cities (Marseille, Lyon, Strasbourg). Each has different rules on appointment vs walk-in, what documents you need, and which services are offered. This tool decodes them.
What this tool actually solves
Most travellers don't know that:
- Almost all consulates require appointments; walk-ins are usually refused.
- Some services (lost passports) are at a "service de garde" — only by phone or at the embassy in Paris.
- The phone number +33 1 43 12 22 22 (or local) is for emergencies outside business hours; the standard line is for everything else.
How to read the result
For each service, you get the right city, the appointment rules, and the documents to bring.
Limitations
Service offerings change. Some consulates only handle passports for residents. The Paris embassy usually handles anything a regional consulate cannot.
FAQ
