1. Consular Intake at 4 Avenue Gabriel (Paris)
U.S. citizens whose passports are stolen on the RER B, Gare du Nord, or in Paris should report to the Consular Section entrance at 4 Avenue Gabriel (around the corner from the main 2 Avenue Gabriel embassy facade) with their flight itinerary, backup ID, and Form DS-11/DS-64.
- ▸Important Schengen Distinction: French Police Aux Frontières (PAF) at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY) allow U.S. citizens to EXIT France on a same-day U.S. Emergency Limited-Validity Passport. However, France does NOT recognize non-biometric emergency passports for visa-free ENTRY into France from outside the Schengen zone.
- ▸An onsite U.S. 2"x2" photo booth inside the 4 Avenue Gabriel consular waiting area accepts credit cards and euro coins.
