ANNOUNCEMENT: Beginning July 9, 2023, U.S. Embassy Armenia will begin accepting online fee payments for adult U.S. passport renewal applications. Paying online allows you to mail your application to the U.S. Embassy without the need to apply in person. Please click here to see if you are eligible for online renewal.

U.S. citizens residing or traveling abroad who require a U.S. passport are issued the latest state-of-the-art passports that incorporate photo-digitized images and other enhanced security features. These passports are produced at a domestic U.S. passport facility. U.S. citizens are encouraged to apply early for renewal of expiring passports.

Reminder for Dual National U.S. Citizens: U.S. law requires all U.S. citizens, including dual-national citizens, to enter the United States using their U.S. passport. We urge all U.S. citizens to keep their U.S. passports current.

The Consular Section of the U. S. Embassy in Yerevan provides a variety of services for U.S. citizens. There are two units in the Consular Section: the U.S. Citizen Services Section and the Visa Section. Please note that American Citizen Services appointments are NOT for visa-related questions or issues. Additionally, do not make an appointment at the Embassy for Social Security issues.  All Social Security issues must now go directly though the Federal Benefit Unit in Athens.

All American Citizen Services visitors should schedule your appointment on-line.

If you need immediate assistance, please contact the U.S. Citizen Services section via email at ACSYerevan@state.gov. Our phone number is (+374) 10 49 45 85. Please leave a voicemail and we will return your call within one business day.  We cannot answer questions regarding visas. If you have any questions about visas, please contact us here.  Calls regarding visas will not be returned.  If you are an American Citizen requiring immediate emergency assistance after hours or on a weekend, please dial +10 49 44 44.
