The consulate general in Beverly Hills is the office that Afghan nationals in this part of the United States deal with when they need something done officially: a passport that is about to expire, a document that has to be recognised back home, a birth that needs registering.
The contact details on record, the usual services, how bookings are handled and the practical traps are all set out below.

🛂 What this office handles
The services below are typical rather than guaranteed. Networks move work between offices without much announcement:
- Emergencies: arrest, accident, serious illness or the death of a relative. Say it is an emergency when you call, because it changes how the call is handled.
- Visas: where the destination still requires one. The online route has replaced the counter for short visits in most networks.
- Civil status: registration of family events, which is what later lets a child obtain a passport or an heir claim an estate.
- Notarial acts: signatures and copies certified for use at home, with every signatory normally required in person.
📅 How appointments work here
Walking in without an appointment works at some posts and not at others. Where it does work, the queue tends to form well before the doors open.
How this post takes bookings is published on its own site. Whatever the method, booking through the official channel is free.
Have everything ready before you book: the forms filled in, the identity documents to hand, and the fee in the form the office accepts. Turning up short of one paper usually means starting again.
🤝 Practical notes for Afghan nationals in Beverly Hills
Being in the same state is not the same as being in the district. Ask, because the answer decides where your file goes.
Bring more documentation than you think you need. Being sent home over one missing paper costs another appointment.
Keep copies of everything you submit and every receipt. If a file goes astray, they are what reconstructs it.
What people ask most
Which source wins if there is a contradiction?
The office’s own, at afghanconsulategeneral.org. No directory, this one included, replaces the official source.
Does it handle visas for U.S. citizens travelling to Afghanistan?
Many countries have moved visitor visas online, so the consulate may have no role at all. Check whether Afghanistan requires one from U.S. citizens before contacting the office.
Can I renew a Afghan passport here?
Passport work is standard across the Afghan consular network, though not every post performs it. Confirm before travelling.
Do they deal with emergencies outside opening hours?
Genuine emergencies — detention, hospitalisation, the death of a relative, a stolen passport — are handled outside the appointment system. Say so when you call.
What is the address in Beverly Hills?
It is 120 S Doheny DR. Many posts share a building with unrelated offices, so find the specific door before you turn up.
Does this consulate general cover my state?
Consular districts are drawn by each country, and the nearest office is not always the competent one. Confirm the district before booking anything in Beverly Hills.
