U.S. Citizen Services

General Information

Welcome to the Consular Section of the Virtual Presence Post of Tonga.  The American Citizen Services Unit at the U.S. Embassy in Suva, Fiji, offers a broad range of services to American Citizens in Tonga.  These duties include: passport services, notarials, registration, Consular Reports of Birth Abroad, documentation for marriage, voting in U.S. elections, various federal benefits and more. In addition, ACS assists U.S. citizens in emergency situations including arrests, deaths, and crisis.

Americans living or traveling to Tonga should register with the Embassy in Suva, Fiji.  Through registration, the Embassy can more accurately gauge the number and location of American citizens in the event that an emergency situation necessitates the rapid dissemination of vital information.  This service is now available online.  Click here for more information on how to register.

If an American citizen is involved in a serious accident, in distress, or dies, please call our 24-hour number (679) 331-4466 and ask for the Duty Officer.  The ACS unit is open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm, and on Friday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. We are closed on U.S. and Fiji holidays.
