Search for it by both names. The country has been Eswatini since 2018, but a great many directories, forms and databases still file it as Swaziland — including some that hold current information. If a search comes up empty, try the old name before concluding the service does not exist.
Quick facts
The embassy on New Hampshire Avenue does more than serve the United States: its ambassador is also accredited to Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile and Venezuela, which makes it Eswatini’s point of contact for a large part of the hemisphere.

At the embassy on New Hampshire Avenue in Washington, the only mission in the United States.
Additional notes
Two names, one country
Older records, airline systems and government databases may still say Swaziland. It is the same place and the same embassy.
A regional mission
Because the ambassador covers several countries in the Americas, the Washington office handles enquiries from well beyond the United States.
No translation needed
English is official in both countries, which keeps costs down.
One office, long distances
Everything travels to Washington. Build postage time into any deadline.
