Overview

The U.S. Consulate in Adana represents the American people in Türkiye’s vibrant and historic southeastern region.  Our consular district encompasses 22 provinces, including Türkiye’s borders with Syria, Iraq and Iran.  Other major cities in this region include Mersin, Gaziantep, Şanlıurfa, Diyarbakır and Van. 

The Consulate contributes to the goals of Mission Türkiye in several ways: most importantly, we provide protection and services to American citizens in our district, including the processing of passports, birth certificates and other official documents.  In addition, the Consulate promotes U.S.-Turkish relations through our work in areas of mutual interest, including education and culture.  The Consulate also seeks to enhance trade and economic ties, working jointly with the Foreign Commercial Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, both of which have representatives in Ankara. 

Furthermore, the United States speaks out in Türkiye for enhanced democracy and for the protection of human rights.  To advance these objectives, and consistent with diplomatic practice worldwide, Consulate officers follow political and economic developments in the region, meeting regularly with representatives from a wide variety of government and non-governmental organizations. 

On this website, you will find the latest news about U.S.-Turkish relations, U.S. foreign policy, study in the United States, U.S. citizen services, and visa services. 

We at the U.S. Consulate in Adana look forward to a warm and productive relationship with the Turkish citizens and all residents of our district. 

History

The American Consulate in Adana has been an active part of the United States Mission in Türkiye for almost one hundred and fifty years.  The first U.S. Consular representation in southeastern Türkiye was established in 1858 when a U.S. consular agency opened its doors in the ancient port city of İskenderun, then known as Alexandretta.  The Consular Agency, which was then under the direction of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, was relocated to Aleppo (now in Syria) in 1908 until the Consulate officially closed in 1924.  In 1958, the American Consulate reopened in İskenderun and moved to Adana in 1961, where we remain today.
