👉 In international relations, a consular service is a government agency that provides consular services to individuals and organizations in countries where they may be traveling. These services are provided by consulates or embassies of their home country, which provide legal assistance, travel documents, and other related services. The term "consular" comes from the Latin word "constrans," meaning "to unite." The term is often used to describe the diplomatic mission or representation of a foreign government in another country.
