The Bureau of Consular Affairs (CA) works to protect the lives and interests of American citizens abroad and to strengthen the security of United States borders through the vigilant adjudication of visas and passports. CA has over 11,000 personnel protecting America's borders and touching people's lives in over 300 locations worldwide. CA is the largest bureau at the State Department and the only bureau that brings in a revenue stream. In FY 2011, the Bureau provided visa, passport, and overseas citizens services to individuals domestically and abroad, and collected $3.1 billion.

CA's Office of the Comptroller (CA/C) is the newest directorate in the Bureau.
