United States Embassy in Bridgetown

The U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown serves as the diplomatic mission for the United States to Barbados and six other sovereign nations in the Eastern Caribbean: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The embassy also provides consular services to U.S. citizens in the British Overseas Territory of Anguilla. This multi-country post coordinates regional security cooperation, combats transnational crime and drug trafficking, promotes sustainable economic development through tourism and renewable energy sectors, and supports public health initiatives across the Eastern Caribbean. The embassy's regional mandate reflects the United States' commitment to partnership with Small Island Developing States and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), addressing shared challenges including climate resilience, disaster preparedness, and economic prosperity.

The American Citizen Services (ACS) unit provides services to U.S. citizens across the seven sovereign nations and the British Overseas Territory of Anguilla, including passport renewals, reports of birth abroad, notarial services, and emergency assistance. U.S. citizens in Anguilla should contact the embassy at BridgetownACS@state.gov or +(246) 227-4000 for consular support. The embassy maintains consular agents on some of the other Eastern Caribbean islands to provide localized assistance.

The embassy promotes U.S. investment in the region's tourism and renewable energy sectors and encourages Caribbean investment in the U.S. through the SelectUSA program.

The Public Affairs section manages a range of programs across the Eastern Caribbean to promote U.S. culture, democratic values, and educational opportunities.

As a multi-country post, the embassy's work is complex and regionally focused. It is a key partner for the seven nations it serves on issues of security and economic prosperity.
