Federal Benefit Services
The U.S. Embassy in Lima, Peru does not have a Federal Benefits Unit. However, the American Citizen Services Section provides some limited federal benefits services, such as liaising with the Social Security Administration's regional and domestic offices regarding specific benefits claims and cases. If you are experiencing problems receiving your federal benefits check, you may contact the American Citizen Services section during federal benefits phone inquiry hours listed below. Please note that apart from telephone inquiries, all federal benefit services are done by appointment only.

Every applicant requesting a consular report of birth abroad, passport and/or notary services, must bring their own set of copies along with the original documents.
