Department of State

aid: department-of-state
name: Department of State
description: The U.S. Department of State leads U.S. foreign policy, conducts diplomacy with foreign governments, issues U.S.
  passports and visas, supports U.S. citizens abroad, and publishes country-specific information and travel advisories. The
  Department does not currently operate a unified developer portal; instead, integrators work from public RSS feeds, web pages,
  the Foreign Affairs Manual, and references to internal systems (ConsularLookout, eCASE) that are not publicly accessible.
