Registering with us and important notices

We have set up a new improved online registration service called LOCATE for British nationals travelling or living abroad to register themselves with the FCO.
We are confident that this new service will improve our ability to provide help in crisis situations and reduce delay and worry in times of stress for family and friends at home.

Due to a major IT upgrade, the Consular Section will be closed from 1130am on Thursday 28 January 2010 until 0830am on Wednesday 3 February 2010.  Unfortunately, during this period, we will be unable to process any passport applications or provide Notarial services. We apologise for any inconvenience this closure may cause.

Work Permit Scam

It has recently come to the attention of the British Embassy that some false companies have circulated advice that Work Permits for the UK can be purchased for work with "Geoservices UK".  This is a fraudulent claim, and the British Embassy strongly advises people not to pay anything to any of these companies or to contact them.
