On the Standing of Two Equal Seats
Vienna & Washington, D.C. · 2 May 2026 · Ref KGD-COM-2026-001
The Embassy confirms that its seats at Vienna and Washington, D.C. hold equal standing in every respect — in protocol, in mandate, and in authority. No seat is primary; no seat is subordinate. Correspondence addressed to either seat is correspondence addressed to the Embassy. This arrangement reflects the institution's founding conviction: that a threshold between the sacred and the civil order must stand with one foot in each world, and lean on neither. The Office of the Secretariat will receive accreditation requests at both seats under identical procedure.
On KGD FIN
Vienna · 5 June 2026 · Ref KGD-COM-2026-002
The Embassy announces KGD FIN, a financial product in development: one account, one card, one cent per transaction — for everyone the Embassy recognises. There will be no tiers, no monthly fee, and no fine print built to extract what the headline hides. KGD is not a bank or licensed e-money institution; services will be provided through licensed European partners, who will be named on these pages before any account is opened. A waiting list is open today. We will write to those on it once — the day the door opens.
On the Chancery
Washington, D.C. · 5 June 2026 · Ref KGD-COM-2026-003
The Chancery — the Embassy's restricted gate for accredited diplomats and officers — is now reachable at its own address. By protocol it remains sealed to the public: every attempt is logged, and accreditation is granted solely by the Office of the Secretariat. The Embassy reminds correspondents that no credential is ever requested by email, and that the Chancery's door opens only from within.
05Use of Name, Marks & Imagery
The Embassy's name, seal and marks may be used in editorial coverage that is accurate and not misleading. They may not be used to imply endorsement, partnership, or affiliation without written permission. Third-party marks shown on the site (including "Mastercard") belong to their respective owners and are used illustratively.
06Fair & Accurate Reporting
We ask that coverage represent the Embassy fairly and in context. Where a correction is warranted, the Office of the Secretariat will provide a prompt, documented response.
