Welcome to the State Department. We’re working hard to make this website as accessible and useful as possible. Here on State.gov, you can find important information for travelers, including how to apply for a passport or visa. You can also learn about U.S. foreign policy and our diplomatic and development efforts around the world. On our blog, Dipnote, you can read the stories posted by our diplomats and aid workers in overseas missions, and then share your own thoughts and opinions.
No one person or country has a monopoly on good ideas. So I hope this website will be a forum for learning, discussion, and collaboration. And there are more exciting changes coming to State.gov, so please stay tuned, and thanks for stopping by.
