U.S. Embassy in Mozambique

The list of medical providers we have is not meant to be exhaustive or definitive nor does it represent either a guarantee of competence or endorsement by the Department of State or the American Embassy. It does indicate that the American community has utilized them in the past. Retention on this list depends upon a combination of factors including availability, training, and positive assistance in previous consultations, etc. Patient input, both positive and negative, regarding experience with health care providers, is always welcome and provides additional information to assist in expanding or contracting this list.

The American Citizen Services unit is in the process of building our American Liaison Network of Citizen Liaison Volunteers (CLV) to ensure that we are able to communicate as effectively as possible with U.S. citizens in the event of an emergency. We are looking for volunteers to serve as CLVs in various regions of Mozambique. If you or someone you know may be interested, or you just want to learn more – let us know!

Transmission of U.S. citizenship depends on: At least one parent having the nationality of the United States at the time of the child’s birth; The existence of a blood relationship between the child and U.S. citizen parent(s); Documentary evidence demonstrating the U.S. citizen parent(s)’ presence in the United States prior to the child’s birth.

Access information and resources related to applying for U.S. citizenship.

Renunciation of U.S. citizenship is a serious and irrevocable act, which deserves your thoughtful consideration. It is imperative that you fully understand the nature of its consequences prior to requesting a Certificate of Loss of Nationality.

The Department of State assists U.S. citizens imprisoned overseas and works to ensure their fair and humane treatment.

The Consular Section maintains a Consular Liaison Network system to be activated in the case of an emergency. Consular Liaison Volunteers (CLVs) are Americans who volunteer to act as a focal point for the American community in their respective province by relaying important information in the case of an emergency. Because of the continuous turn-over of Americans resident in Mozambique, we are always looking for new CLVs or back-ups. If you are interested in volunteering to be a CLV, please contact the Consular Section.

U.S. citizens wishing to establish residency in Mozambique must provide a criminal record check to Mozambican immigration authorities. You must obtain this check in the U.S., either from your local police department or the FBI. The Embassy cannot produce criminal record or background checks, or take fingerprints for this purpose. FBI records cannot be authenticated by the Embassy but rather the Department of State’s Office of Authentication. Please visit the notarial page for more information.

Listed are names of translators of Portuguese into English and English into Portuguese, as well as other languages. The Embassy does not accept responsibility for the fidelity or legal acceptability of translations.

Mozambican authorities now require all travelers entering Mozambique to present a valid International Vaccination Certificate. Additionally, travelers who have been to any of the 43 countries where Yellow Fever is known to exist must present a valid Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate. If you cannot present a valid certificate on entry you may be vaccinated at your expense (approximately U.S. $50).
