I first tried a general search and found out usembassy.gov has evidently been taken down. Or it isn't functioning right now.
So I used my login.gov account to go to the STEP page (Smart Traveler Enrollment Program) and searched for the country I was interested in. There was embassy information on that page. I can't speak to how up to date it is. I believe the RS Tour Books also carry some of this information.
Travel.state.gov—>international travel—>learn about your destination—>enter country and get info on embassies and consulates, entry requirements and visas, and more!
the UK page is working https://uk.usembassy.gov/visiting-the-u-s-embassy-in-london/ but they got confused about the new Northern line extension of the Underground, which is a shame since the developer of their new location part funded it .....
I’ve also used Google maps to search where US Embassies are in the country I’m visiting so that I can mark it as a favorite. There are also Consulates General in certain countries. For example, I searched “US Embassy, Germany” on Google maps and it listed information for embassies and consulates for several cities.
I love all these replies. Lots of resources!
just out of curiosity, why do you need all these addresses? And do you understand the difference between embassy and consulate (which may be at a different address).
Taking a trip and I wanted to have them just in case.
That's a good idea, Kim—I had to find the embassy in a hurry when I was in London in 1996 and lost my passport. I found it okay but it took a bit of time (no internet to speak of back then). Due to the delay, I didn't make it over there until noontime. They were closed for lunch and the guard told me to come back at 1 pm. I was already pretty distraught (I'd also lost my money, credit cards, and travelers' checks when my money belt fell off unnoticed during my walk) and when I heard that, I just burst into tears.
Eventually, I got it all sorted, and amazingly several weeks later, my landlady at the B&B mailed everything to me. It turns out a student found the money belt and turned it into the police. But I wish I would have had that embassy info handy at the time.
Make sure that you also sign up for the STEP alerts for the countries you're going to - they will provide you with the embassy location and contact phone numbers in the event of an emergency. For example, I got a recent worldwide notice for the UK and it included this level of detail:
U.S. Embassy London, United Kingdom
33 Nine Elms Lane
London, UK SW11 7US
+44 (0) 207-499-9000
from U.S.: 011 44 (0)20 7499-9000
Mardee: the timed saved might be noticeable if the journey to the address is only a matter of minutes. But if you lost your passport in Newcastle it's still a 4 hour trip to see them. And there is a consulate a lot closer than that....
