If you are calling from within India, but outside Chennai, first dial 044-. If you are calling from the United States, first dial 011-91-44-. To contact the Indian police, simply dial 100.
The American Citizen Services Unit at the U.S. Consulate in Chennai can assist when a U.S. citizen in India is arrested, missing, is a victim of violent crime, becomes ill or dies, or when there is otherwise a need for immediate help. We can assist with information on local resources and by keeping family members in the United States apprised of the circumstances, so that they can make necessary decisions and provide financial and logistical support.
Please note that we can only replace lost and stolen passports during normal office hours.
