What does the "Exception: forbidden" error mean and why might the State Department site show it?Expand

The “Exception: forbidden” message is essentially an HTTP 403 “Forbidden” error. It means the web server understood your request but is refusing to show the page—common reasons include access-control rules, security filters, or misconfiguration on the State Department site. It does not mean the page doesn’t exist; it means your browser is currently not allowed to view it.
