About Chancery Map
An interactive map of the world's diplomatic missions — who has embassies and consulates where, and how that network changes over time.
The data
Everything on this site comes from Wikidata, the free knowledge base behind Wikipedia, published under CC0. We refresh the full dataset daily (currently 10,358 missions, last updated August 21, 2026), archive every snapshot, and publish a feed of what changed.
What this is not
This is a map of mapped missions, not an authoritative registry. Wikidata covers roughly half of the world's real diplomatic missions (about 10,000 of an estimated 25,000+), with coverage skewed toward Western capitals and larger posts. If a consulate you know exists is missing, it probably has no Wikidata item yet — you can fix that by creating one.
The change feed reflects edits observed in Wikidata, not verified diplomatic events. A mission appearing in the feed usually means someone documented it, not that it just opened. We label entries conservatively: “first seen” / “last seen,” with “possibly newly opened” only when the recorded inception date is recent.
Locations and names
Coordinates come from the mission's Wikidata item where available; when only the city is known, the marker sits at the city center and the mission card says “approx. location.” Missions without an English name are shown with a generated description like “Consulate-General of Slovenia, Trieste.”
Fixing errors
Every mission card links to its Wikidata item. Corrections made there flow into this site within a day. That's the best place to fix a wrong address, add a missing consulate, or mark a closed post.
