Priority consular assistance is provided to Latvian nationals in emergency situations (for example, when a person has been detained), to clients whose purpose of travel to Latvia is related to humanitarian reasons (such as attending a relative’s funeral or a serious illness), as well as for services that can be only received at the embassy in person.

Services (for example, various types of certificates, citizenship registration, obtaining a birth certificate, etc.) can be requested directly from the relevant Latvian institution. Information can be found on the embassy’s website and on the websites of the competent Latvian authorities.
