Word that emcompasses both embassies and consulates

Question

At Wikivoyage we are looking for a word to describe any kind of official representation office of a country in another country.

It mostly means embassies and consulates, even though sometimes they have special names for various political reasons.

Examples:

• Embassy of Mexico, Berlin
• Consulate-General of Russia in New York City
• High Commission of Canada to the United Kingdom
• Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Houston (more names)

We are looking for a short word (3 to 10 letters maybe?) to be used in the wikicode, it will be seen by editors but not by visitors, which means we are ready to compromise exactitude for shortness, if necessary.

Answer 1

I propose:

le·ga·tion

: a group of government officials sent to work in a foreign country; also : the building where such a group works. Merriam-Webster

The plural has nine letters, but hey - diplomatic missions has 18 plus a space.

Another possibility might be to cut the diplomatic and simply use the word mission. It's defined as:

b : a permanent embassy or legation MW

c. A permanent diplomatic office abroad. TFD

That'd be an eight letter plural.

Answer 2

Perhaps Official representation overseas might work (its length is 32 chars., including 2 spaces). I realize that the Official representation component is rather similar to your original description, but that might actually be an advantage if your 10-20 character limitation has been lifted.
