Planning an international trip? Our Consular Affairs team has been hard at work to reduce the amount of time it takes to apply or renew U.S. passports. If you already have a passport, make sure to check the expiration date well before your trip. Some destinations require you to have several months of validity on your passport to travel. Head to travel.state.gov/passport for more details. And if you are interested in joining our Consular Affairs team, either here in the U.S. or overseas, follow our https://careers.state.gov/ or sign up for job openings at https://lnkd.in/evmpw_Z6
About us
The U.S. Department of State is focused on accomplishing America's mission of diplomacy at home and around the world. The U.S. Department of State manages America’s relationships with foreign governments, international organizations, and the people of other countries. U.S. diplomats and Civil Service professionals carry out the President’s foreign policy and help build a more free, prosperous, and secure world. U.S. Department of State employees, with their skills, character and commitment to public service, are the backbone of America's diplomacy. They represent the people and advocate the interests of the U.S. to the rest of the world. The Foreign Service (FS) is dedicated to representing America and responding to the needs of American citizens in other countries. Members of the Foreign Service can be sent to any embassy, consulate, or other diplomatic mission anywhere in the world, at any time, to serve the diplomatic needs of the United States. Civil Service (CS) employees provide in-depth expertise and continuity in accomplishing all aspects of the Department's mission and are involved in virtually every function of the Department. Civil Service employees issue passports, compile and analyze overseas reports, provide logistical support to posts, consult with Congress about foreign policy initiatives and policies, and formulate and manage the budget. Nearly 7,400 Civil Service (CS) employees serve as a stable resource pool in Washington D.C., at Passport Agencies and field offices throughout the United States, and at several Consulates in Mexico. More than 31,000 Foreign Service National (FSN) employees also supplement the personnel requirements of the Department overseas. FSN employees are local residents of the countries in which we maintain diplomatic posts and consulates. They are valued members of our embassy teams, for they provide continuity for the transient American staff and have language and cultural expertise.

Did you know the State Department holds daily briefings with reporters from around the world at our main headquarters in Washington? Our Daily Press Briefings are similar to the live, televised press conferences that the White House and Pentagon have. This allows reporters to ask directly their questions about our programs, positions, and policy. It gives us a chance to explain what we are doing and why. And it allows people worldwide to watch online. For some reporters from other countries, this is in stark contrast to what they experience at home, where freedom of the press is curtailed. We recently added American Sign Language interpretation to our Daily Press Briefing. This action underscores our commitment to inclusion and our acknowledgement that all individuals are integral to the fabric of our country and our workforce. You can find all our Daily Press Briefings at https://lnkd.in/dPgiA4Bz and our YouTube channel https://lnkd.in/gDwMrkh3 And check out the “topper” from our first briefing to include American Sign Language interpretation.
