is a consulate and embassy the same thing
Consul (representative) The office of a consul is termed a consulate, and is usually subordinate to the state's main representation in that foreign country, usually an embassy, or High Commission between Commonwealth countries, in the capital city of the host state. Like the term embassy, the word consulate may refer not only to the office of consul, but also to the building occupied by the consul and his or her staff. The consulate may share premises with the embassy itself.
