Here, please take a look at the updated Tagging section of the proposal and see if that solves the issue. I include a link to the Wikipedia article on ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/office%3Ddiplomatic#Tagging *Current Proposal:* * establish formally the office <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:office>=diplomatic <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:office%3Ddiplomatic&action=edit&redlink=1> primary tag/key value combination, with the following additional (secondary and tertiary) tags: o diplomatic <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:diplomatic>=* with key values of [embassy, consulate, liaison] + embassy <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:embassy&action=edit&redlink=1>=* with key values of [yes, high_commission, nunciature, interests_section, mission, delegation, branch_embassy, residence] + consulate <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:consulate&action=edit&redlink=1>=* with key values of {yes, consulate_general, consular_agency, consular_office, honorary_consul] + liaison <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:liaison&action=edit&redlink=1>=* with key values of [liaison_office, representative_office, subnational]; * establish formally diplomatic:services:*=[yes/no] additional (tertiary) tag with the following options: o + diplomatic:services:non-immigrant_visas*=[yes/no] + diplomatic:services:immigrant_visas=[yes/no] + diplomatic:services:citizen_services=[yes/no]; and * deprecate the amenity=embassy tag over a period of time. Additional tags routinely used would include: * country <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:country>=* where * is thetwo-character ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2>for the sending country or organization or the generally accepted English acronym for an international organization (e.g., UN, OSCE); * name <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name>=* where * is the name of the mission; * target <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:target>=* where * is thetwo-character ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2>for the receiving (accrediting) country or organization or the generally accepted English acronym for an international organization (e.g., UN, OSCE, NATO, WTO). If a mission is accredited to multiple countries or organizations, * will constitute a semicolon-delimited list of tags, e.g., target <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:target>=US;CA <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:target%3DUS;CA&action=edit&redlink=1> for a mission accredited to both the United States and Canada. and of course the address and other contact information.
