4. Arrive early to your appointment

We ask that you come prepared and bring a mask or face covering to your appointment. While public health guidance has changed during the pandemic as more U.S. citizens are fully vaccinated for COVID-19, some of our agencies and centers are located in buildings that have different policies for wearing masks and face coverings than our lobby and waiting areas. Follow the signs posted in the building and the lobby of our agency or center which will display the most up-to-date mask and face covering requirements.
 
Due to COVID-19: Please do not arrive early. Staff will allow applicants to enter at the scheduled time. If you're accompanying an adult applicant you must wait in the lobby. 
  1. We suggest you arrive 15 minutes early to go through security screening. Weapons, food, and drinks (except water in a sealable bottle) are not allowed.
  2. Take the elevator to the 6th floor, Suite 600.
  3. Check in at the Information Desk. Give them your appointment confirmation number to verify your appointment.
  4. Be seated and wait until we call your number.
  5. When we call your number, go to your assigned window.
  6. A Department of State employee will review your application and supporting materials and discuss available delivery options.

Please note: We may not see you exactly at your appointment time.
