This is a list of the different types of ceremonies accorded by country to an ambassador-designated during their presentation of their letter of credence. A letter of credence is a formal diplomatic letter that designates a diplomat as ambassador to another sovereign state. The letter is presented personally by the ambassador-designate to the receiving head of state in a formal ceremony, marking the beginning of the ambassadorship. Many governments hold presentation ceremonies with elements that are usually accorded to heads of state and government.
