Citizen Services
General Information
American Citizen Services (ACS) is part of the U.S. Embassy's Consular Section. We provide assistance to American citizens in Syria, including passport services, notarials, registration, Consular Reports of Birth Abroad, voting in U.S. elections, various federal benefits, and more. In addition, ACS assists U.S. citizens in emergency situations, including arrests, deaths, and crisis situations.
In an effort to better serve our American community, effective November 15th, 2009, the Consular Section will schedule all non-emergency services to U.S. Citizens by appointment only. Appointments are available Sunday – Thursday, 08:00am – 10:00am and can be made through our convenient online system. It is possible to have several services during the same visit to the Consulate. Please make a separate appointment for each individual service.
The scheduled appointment will be automatically cancelled for the applicant who arrives later than the appointed time. The applicant will be required to make a new appointment via our website.
Please follow the links below to link to schedule an appointment:

We will, of course, continue to accept emergency cases without an appointment. In an emergency, please contact the U.S. Embassy +963-11-3391-4444.
We encourage Americans who have questions or concerns to contact the section via email at acsdamascus@state.gov. You will receive a response within 1 business day.
