Welcome to American Citizen Services
Nearly 40,000 American citizens live and work in The Netherlands. Many more visit every year. The Department of State, through its Consulate General in Amsterdam, provides a range of routine and emergency services for Americans who live in The Netherlands or who are just visiting.
The American, or U.S. Citizen Services (ACS) Unit’s assistance includes but is not limited to, Passport services, Notary services, and Consular Reports of Births Abroad. Some passport services are available by mail, other services require a visit to the Consulate General in Amsterdam. Visits require you to set up an appointment.

The Consulate General also assists in emergencies, including deaths, arrests and crisis situations.
