| - The largest consulate in Toronto, the U.S. Consulate serves U.S. citizens residing and visiting Canada with consular assistance (passport renewals, birth registrations of children born to U.S. citizens in Canada, legal assistance in the event of an arrest, etc.). I have been here to get forms notarized and pick up a passport renewal form, and the consular staff are extremely helpful and informative. Non U.S. citizens can come for visa appointments or other immigration-related processes such as obtaining a Green Card (if married to a U.S. citizen). Due to this modern age of terrorism, do not bring any gadgets (mobile phones, iPods, etc.), food, drink and backpacks (not too sure about purses or messenger bags, but it's best to call the consulate before you head off to see if they are on the list of prohibited items) as doing so will result in being denied access into the consulate. Remember once you step foot into the consulate, you're on U.S. soil and Canadian law does not apply on these premises. While it does bite that you can't bring anything to kill time, you will have to abide by rules set by consular officials.
Wait times can be lengthy, so it's best to arrive early in the morning, and most importantly, schedule an appointment if possible.
For U.S. citizens looking solely to renew their passports, no need to come to the consulate as U.S. citizens in Canada are allowed to submit renewals via traditional postal mail. Please follow the instructions as provided on this website:
https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports/renew.html
and mail the forms, photos, photocopies, money order (in U.S. funds) and current passport to:
Routine Service:
National Passport Processing Center
Post Office Box 90155
Philadelphia, PA 19190-0155
Expedited Service (additional fee applies):
Write "EXPEDITE" on the outside of the mailing envelope.
National Passport Processing Center
Post Office Box 90955
Philadelphia, PA 19190-0955
As for those coming here for notarization services, SKIP IT! They charge $50 for each document they notarize which is a MAJOR rip-off. Instead I went over to Toronto Notary Public ( https://www.yelp.ca/biz/toronto-notary-public-toronto?hrid=4T6dwISpXeEWsRfiAj9G6g ) instead where two notarizations cost me only $26. I have used his notarization many times in the past and they have been accepted by state governments in New York, New Jersey as well as a private business in Arkansas.
