Online Appointment System for ACS
Online appointments are required for all public services. Walk-in service is no longer possible.
If you are making an appointment to submit an application and documentation for a Social Security number, please review the requirements at http://london.usembassy.gov/cons_new/faqs/faq_fbu_ssn.html. Please review these requirements before you make an appointment to ensure you have all of the necessary documents before you visit the Embassy.
To reduce your wait time, please fill out all official application forms and paperwork online in advance and bring them with you to your appointment. You may download the most commonly used application forms here:
The ACS Unit also provides emergency assistance to American citizens in distress: when an American is destitute, arrested, separated from minor children, or sick. In an emergency, the Embassy Duty Officer can be reached at any time.
The information on this website is designed to help you understand the services we can offer and to provide some useful information which may help you during your stay, be it long or short, in Belgium.
The ACS unit will NOT be able to answer questions about visas.
