The office of a Consul is termed a Consulate, and is usually subordinate to the state's main representation in that foreign country, nowadays usually an Embassy (or High Commission between Commonwealth countries, many of which still have the British Monarch as common Head of State) in the capital city of the host state. In the capital, the consulate may be a part of the embassy itself.
A consul of higher rank is termed a "consul-general", and his or her office a "consulate-general". He or she typically has one or several Deputy Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls and Consular Agents working under him/her. Consulates-general need not be in the capital city, but instead in the most appropriate cities. In the United States, for example, many countries have a consulate-general in New York City, and some have consulates-general in several major cities (e.g. Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Boston). The same is the case for countries like Germany, where many consulates-general are located in cities such as Frankfurt and Munich.
Consuls of various ranks may have specific legal authority for certain activities, such as notarizing documents. As such, diplomatic personnel with other responsibilities may receive consular commissions. Aside from those outlined in the Vienna conventions, there are few formal requirements outlining what a consular official must do. For example, for some countries, consular officials may be responsible for the issuance of visas; other countries may limit "consular services" to providing assistance to compatriots, legalization of documents, etc. Nonetheless, consulates proper will be headed by consuls of various ranks, even if such officials have little or no connection with the more limited sense of consular service. |
