Dear Consular Customer,
Welcome to the American Citizen Services (ACS) Unit at the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires.
The. U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires provides a variety of emergency and non-emergency services, as well as helpful information, to U.S. citizens visiting or living in Argentina. Please review our website to familiarize yourself with the services we can and cannot offer.
The ACS Unit is open to the public from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. which is the consular cashier hours. The cashier closes for lunch from approximately 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Please note that although the ACS Unit is open to the public during these times, appointments are required for all routine citizenship services. Individuals seeking a same day emergency passport appointment or other emergency service should email BuenosAires-ACS@state.gov for an appointment time.

- If you have questions regarding an immigrant visa petition for a relative, please contact BuenosAires-IV@state.gov
If you arrive at the consulate for any non-emergency service without an appointment, you will be asked to return after securing one. Thank you for your cooperation with this policy, which will ensure that services are offered in a more efficient manner, with shorter wait times. Please note that failure to renew a passport in a timely manner prior to your travel is not an emergency service, and you will need an appointment to receive a new passport.
When making your appointment, please note that “Other Services” do not include consultations about visas or federal benefits (i.e. social security).
If the answer to your question is not found on our website, email us at buenosaires-acs@state.gov.
