career consular officer

  
     
  A full-time consular officer, as opposed to an honorary consular officer. A somewhat ambiguous term, it does not imply that the person bearing the title is also a member of a separate consular service and thus likely to spend his or her entire career engaged in the performance of consular functions. This was the lot of full-time consular officers until about the middle of the twentieth century but since then states have incorporated their consular services within their diplomatic services. As a result, from time to time many career diplomats now serve at a consular post or in the consular section of an embassy. See also consular rank.
