Thank you for your interest in the Consular Corps College

The Consular Corps College, founded in 1969, is the national association of foreign consuls and honorary consuls serving in the United States. We welcome membership of all consuls and honorary consuls, regional consular corps, as well as organizations, institutions and businesses who would like to support our work in international relations. As a charitable 501(c)3 organization, donations are also very much appreciated to further the Consular Corps College’s mission.

Associate category

The Consular Corps College offers general resources to all consular officers as a service to the diplomatic community. All consuls and honorary consul appointed by a foreign government, and with a valid U.S. Department of State ID, automatically become an Associate of the Consular Corps College. This non-dues paying Associate inclusion is our way of saying "thank you" to you for being willing to serve. To make sure you are receiving notices from the Consular Corps College, please contact us and we will add you to our rosters.

Supporting Member category

For those consuls and honorary consuls who would like more comprehensive information and in depth resources, access to directories and archives, mentorship opportunities, and special discounts, we invite you to become a Supporting Member, which entails annual dues. Click here for a detailed list of benefits.

Affinity Member category

In addition to the national Consular Corps College, there are some geo-specific consular associations, usually in regions or metropolitan areas where there is a concentration of consular appointments and activity. The Consular Corps College is committed to serving these regional and local corps as well, as they too provide a valuable service to our diplomatic community, and there is a special CCC Affinity Member category for regional corps. Check here to see if your area has a consular association, and if they are official Affinity Members of the Consular Corps College. If your regional consular association is an official Affinity Member of the Consular Corps College, then you are eligible for a discount in your individual CCC Supporting Member dues.

Corporate Member category

Corporate Membership in the Consular Corps College is a newly established category of membership, recognizing the increasing importance of economic exchanges in consular duties, and acknowledging and encouraging corporate social responsibility efforts in diversity, and multicultural and global affairs.

Please refer to the the CCC Membership Benefits Chart to provide additional information for requirements and benefits for each category of Consular Corps College membership.
