American Citizen Service Notices

The American Citizen Services section is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday except American and Chinese holidays, between the hours of 8:30am-12:00pm and 2:00pm to 4:00pm.  On Wednesdays we are only open during the morning from 8:30-12:00pm.  Be sure to bring your passport for identification.

The Embassy considers the provision of services to American citizens one of its most important missions in China. In addition to consular services (passports and birth registrations), the Embassy provides information and assistance in a number of other areas (notarials, tax and voting information, etc).
