What should I expect on the day of my passport, citizenship, or notarial appointment?

Please arrive no more than 15 minutes in advance of your appointment to go through security.

All visitors, including U.S. citizens, must be screened prior to entering the U.S. Embassy and are subject to inspection via walk-through metal detector and a hand-held metal detector. All personal items will undergo full inspection by use of x-ray and other detection equipment.
