The Honorary Consulate of Portugal in Mombasa

Honorary Consulate - An Honorary Consul, whether Portuguese or otherwise, is a non-diplomat residing in the country and region where the Consulate operates, appointed by the Foreign Affairs Ministry to foster and safeguard the interests and rights of the Portuguese State and its nationals in locations lacking official representation. Typically, Honorary Consulates are not tasked with consular functions; however, under particular justified conditions, they might be authorized for voter registration, civil registration, notary acts, and issuing travel documents. The functions of honorary consuls are performed under the mission head's guidance, within their area of responsibility.
