Consular Notification and Access
By
Published: 03/12/2007

If a foreign national is arrested, according to international treaty his country must be contacted (know as consular notification) and his country has the right to contact and visit him (known as consular access). All law enforcement must ensure that foreign governments can extend appropriate services to their nationals in the U.S. and that the U.S. complies with its legal obligations to such governments.

For more guidance on the proper consular notification and access procedures, visit the U.S. Department of State's Consular Notification and Access web page.
