Definition

A representative of a sovereign State, posted to a foreign territory, in charge of matters outside inter-governmental diplomacy (for example: related to individual people and/or businesses).

Description

The offices of consuls (known as consulates) are more numerous than diplomatic missions, the latter being posted only in a foreign capital, while consular ones are also posted in various cities throughout the country, especially centers of economic activity, or wherever there is a significant population of its citizens (expatriates) in residence. Consulates are subordinate posts of their State's diplomatic mission.
