American Citizen Services

U.S. Embassy Tripoli American Citizen Services unit's ability to assist American citizens is limited. For American citizen emergencies, call 091-220-5203 (218-91-220-5203 if dialing from outside Libya). If you need to obtain an emergency passport, send an email to usconsulartripoli@gmail.com with your full name and local phone number. We will contact you as soon as we are able to assist. Thank you for your patience.

U.S. citizens traveling to, or remaining in, Libya should use extreme caution and limit nonessential travel within the country, make their own contingency emergency plans, enroll their presence in Libya through the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), and provide their current contact information and next-of-kin or emergency contact information.
