Law/Patents - Tourism & Travel / Government Department Title
Spanish term or phrase: Departamento de Documentación Consular
This is the title of a department within a South American country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "Department of Consular Documentation" does not sound right in English, somehow. Is it maybe "Department of Visas"? TIA for helping to find the closest and most natural-sounding equivalent.
