In the event of an emergency involving an American citizen during non-working hours, an Embassy duty officer is available. To contact the duty officer, the American citizen should telephone the Embassy and describe the problem to the Marine Security Guard who will then notify the duty officer. Passports The Consular Section issues passports to American citizens, both previous passport holders and first-time applicants. Previous passport holders whose passports have expired or been lost or stolen will be required to prove their citizenship and identity. American citizens who travel extensively can ask for extra pages for their passport.
Extra pages require no fee or forms to fill out.
Registration Americans traveling or residing in Togo are strongly encouraged to register with the Consular Section of the Embassy. The registration of citizens allows the Embassy to know more accurately the number and location of American citizens should an emergency arise. It also enables the Consular Officer to locate an individual in the event of a family or business emergency in the United States. Births in Togo Parents of American children born abroad should obtain a Consular Report of Birth which serves as evidence of the child's U.S. citizenship. Reports of birth should be obtained as soon as possible after the birth of the child and cannot be issued after age eighteen.
