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.

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

How long does an emergency passport take?
US: 1–2 business days, sometimes same-day. UK: same-day for emergency travel documents. Canada: 1–3 business days. EU citizens: free replacement at the local police and town hall, often same-day.
Will the consulate lend me money?
No — they can usually do an emergency transfer that you repay later, or contact family on your behalf. They do not give cash.
