Portugal's Honorary Consulate in Djibouti

Honorary Consulate - An honorary consul, regardless of nationality and not necessarily a diplomat, lives in the country and location of their consulate's operation and are appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Their role is to protect and promote the Portuguese State's rights and interests in places without official representation. They typically don’t carry out consular acts but may be authorized to conduct voter registration, civil registration, notary acts, and issue travel documents in certain exceptional cases. They operate within their competency, guided by the head of the mission they are associated with.
