Key Officers of Foreign Service Posts
June 1997

---

Important Notice:

It is most important that correspondence to a Foreign Service post be addressed to a section or position rather than to an officer by name. This will eliminate delays resulting from the forwarding of official mail to officers who have transferred. Normally, correspondence concerning commercial matters should be addressed simply "Commercial Section" followed by the name and correct mailing address of the post.

Telephoning a Foreign Service Post

Dial international access code + country code + city code + local number:   Ex:  011 + (61) + (6) + 2705000.
Note: Some international calls will require operator assistance because the country is not an international dial country. The telephone listing for these countries will not be preceded by a country code and city code (always shown in brackets and parentheses).
