The US Consular Agency in Nice has now closed and services have been relocated.

Effective from September 1, 2015, the U.S. Consular Agency in Nice was closed. All routine and emergency consular services will now be provided by the U.S. Consulate General in Marseille. The closure reflects the U.S. government’s policy of providing the highest quality consular service to U.S. citizens and foreign nationals in a location that offers a secure environment for all concerned.

The Marseille consular district includes Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Hautes-Alpes, Alpes-Maritimes, Ariège, Aude, Aveyron, Bouches-du-Rhône, Corsica, Gard, Haute-Garonne, Gers, Herault, Lot, Lozere, Hautes-Pyrénées, Pyrénées-Orientales, Tarn, Tarn-et-Garonne, Var, Vaucluse, and Monaco.

For emergency services in the Marseille consular district, U.S. citizens are advised to contact the consular section at the U.S. Consulate General in Marseille. For emergency services in other regions of France, U.S. citizens are advised to contact the U.S. Embassy in Paris.
