Services we can provide
Your renewal form may require your signature to be witnessed by a Consular Employee, AND/OR certified true copies to be produced of your identity documents. If either of these is required by the Licensing Authority, you will need to make an appointment to attend the Embassy in person. Bring along the form and any other documents the Licensing Authority requires for proof of identity (details are on the form).
Please refer to our Smartraveller website for more information on how we can certify your photograph.
Fees will be charged based on the type and the quantity of services the Embassy is required to provide by the Licensing Authority.
