Foreign Consulates in St. Petersburg

Unless otherwise specified, these are general consulates with the right to issue visas. For a list of embassies in Moscow, see TRAVELLER'S YELLOW PAGES ON-LINE.
Consulates offer a variety of services and assistance to foreign nationals. For example, the American, German, and French consulates in St. Petersburg do the following: passport replacements, notary services, birth certificates, absentee voting, federal income tax forms and emergency help.

In Case of an Emergency Only: The consulate "duty officer" of many consulates can be reached 24 hours a day. Call immediately in case of arrest or other legal difficulties. They can contact an attorney or act on your behalf. They will also provide medical evacuation and assistance in the event of a death. Only in an emergency can they perform money transfers.

Travel Advisories: If you plan to travel anywhere else, especially to one of the former republics, they issue timely travel advisories and information about obtaining visas.

Registration: For your safety you are advised to register with your consulate so that you may be easily contacted in case of emergency.

Schools Here: The American consulate also houses the American School for Children in pre-school & grades 1-6, which is the St. Petersburg branch of the Anglo-American School of Moscow. The school is planning to move in the near future.

Business Assistance: The US, Hungarian, Chinese People's Republic, Finnish and German consulates have commercial or trade delegations in St. Pbg. The US Commercial Department is now called American Business Center (ABC) and is on Bolshaya Morskaya ul., 57. See below.
