To answer the question from Mateusz, most consulates have a plaque outside with the name, such as "Consulat de Mali", and they are physically separate from the embassies even in cities (like Paris, where I live) where a country might have both (such as the USA does).
Question : there is existing tagging for such places, specifically amenity=embassy + diplomatic=consulate Frankly, I have never been happy with this tagging because a consulate isn't really a subset of an embassy. It's a different sort of animal, but related. Same genus, different species if you will. It would make more sense to me, if you were to make a change at the top level, to do this: amenity=diplomatic + diplomatic=embassy for embassies amenity=diplomatic + diplomatic=consulate for consulates This is more in keeping with the hierarchical structures of other tag types. I see that "office=diplomatic" was proposed along these lines in 2010-11, on the theory that these are more offices than amenities, but frankly I think amenity is better, since those are supposedly things to help tourists, which consulates, at least, are specifically aimed at. I don't really like amenity=consulate, but I do agree that it's better than the current amenity=embassy + diplomatic=consulate for consulates.
