<p>One of the commenters has suggested an additional tag indicating
what services a consulate or embassy provides, and that is one
option. Not all consulates or consular sections of embassies
offer all visa types, for example. The existent service=* tag
could possibly be used. For example, one could add to either a
consulate or an embassy the tag service=[citizen services;
notarials; apostiles; immigrant visas; non-immigrant visas].
Thoughts?<br>

<blockquote> > One further thought... There is also a big
functional difference between an embassy and a
consulate. The former is more government-oriented, whereas
consulates
provide services to individual citizens. I know this is a big
generalisation, but I hope you will agree there is an important
difference. BUT some embassies also provide consular services, and
some
don't - they might direct you to another address for your visa or
whatever. If we tag embassies and consulates distinctly, how do we
add a
secondary tag to an embassy to indicate whether they do consular
work or
not?</blockquote>
