What Are Embassies, Consulates, and Missions?

Embassies, consulates, and missions are the places where U.S. government representatives serve in foreign countries. Embassies serve as the headquarters for the State Department and other U.S. government representatives serving in foreign countries. Consulates provide the same services as embassies, but they follow the lead of the embassy. Both embassies and consulates are known collectively as missions, but missions also refer to U.S. representation to international organizations.
You can find these buildings all over the world. Each mission has a unique organization and function depending on U.S. foreign policy goals.
In this video, learn how U.S. embassies, consulates, and missions operate.

A HUGE Misconception. The land of the US Embassy (or any other) is NOT the sovereign territory of the US. It belongs to the host country. An embassy is still part of the host country, just with the special provision that the host country's authorities can't enter its premises without explicit permission. Representatives of the host country cannot enter an embassy without permission.
