Important

Please note the U.S. Consulate General has suspended routine consular services until further notice because of the COVID-19 situation. Presently we are only providing emergency passport services. Passport printing in the U.S. is also currently limited to emergency cases, therefore regular passports are not being printed.  If you have imminent travel, you may apply for an emergency passport at the Consulate General Amsterdam.  Please follow our instructions here: https://nl.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/emergency-passports/. Unfortunately, the situation is extremely fluid and it is difficult for us to say when we can go back to normal operations. As soon as we are able to resume operations we will post a notice here https://nl.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulate/amsterdam/
