Event: Limited Consular Operations (December 23, 2021)
In light of COVID-19, U.S. Embassy Juba has suspended all routine passport and other consular services as of December 23, 2021.
Please note that if you are overseas and your passport expired on or after January 1, 2020, you may be able to use your expired passport to return directly to the United States. You can read more to see if you qualify here.
