The Apostolic Nunciature in the United States of America is the diplomatic mission of the Holy See to the USA, representing the office of the successor of Saint Peter, the Pope. With a rich tradition of diplomatic initiatives, the Holy See has been actively engaged in clarifying Church teaching and promoting international peace. The Nuncio, appointed by the Pope, exercises his diplomatic mission from the Apostolic Nunciature, facilitating Vatican dealings with the church in the country.
The Holy See, recognized as an International Juridical person, encompasses all the dicasteries through which the Pope governs the Catholic Church. Vatican City, a sovereign state within Rome, guarantees the absolute freedom and independence of the Holy See. While no passport or visa is required to enter Vatican City, travel requirements set by the Italian Government must be respected. Pilgrims visiting the Vatican can find nearby accommodations, and those seeking a Papal Blessing can request one directly from the Vatican.
