That's a long shot, but is there a verb that means "to go to a consulate/embassy to get some paperwork done"?

For instance, as an Italian person:

  • In Italy, to go to the Laos embassy to get a visa.
  • In Laos, going to the Italian consulate to declare I have lost my Italian passport and need a new one or a replacement.

Preferably a single-word verb, in any case under 20 characters.

Alas, there is no single-word verb, or even a short phrase, that carries such a precise meaning. The only way round this problem that I can think of would be to invent a new word to convey this meaning, and to explicitly define it whenever it is used. For instance:

In this document, the verb docuvisit is used to mean "to go to a consulate/embassy to conduct business involving official documentation". The noun docuvisit is used to reference a trip of this kind.
