• Forced Marriage: Information on how to avoid becoming a victim of forced marriage

The Embassy considers the provision of services to American citizens one of its most important missions in Bangladesh. The American Citizen Services (ACS) Unit deals with matters concerning Americans traveling or residing abroad. These matters range from providing federal tax forms to issuing U.S. passports to registering the birth abroad of American citizens. While Consular Officers are required and prepared to assist their fellow citizens in a number of ways, there are some things they cannot do. A Consular Officer can neither perform marriages nor obtain the release of Americans from prison. However, in those circumstances, a Consular Officer can still provide some assistance.
