Citizens are highly advised to book an appointment for their convenience, especially if they need registration, passport, visa, army exemption, certificates of any kind, power of attorney, authentication of any other document or signature.

The Embassy in Canberra deals with the following issues:

• Passports
• Verification of the authenticity of foreign documents
• Vital Records
• Power of Attorney
• National Visas
• Application Form
• New Visa Information System (VIS)
• Procedure of issuance of Schengen visas for seafarers

Passports at the Embassy are issued in cooperation with the Citizen Protection Ministry and the Hellenic Police's Passport Directorate. When issuing a new passport the Embassy takes receipt of the necessary documentation that is sent to the competent Directorate of the Ministry of the Interior. Older passports issued by Prefectures and our Consular Authorities abroad ceased being valid as of 1 January 2007.In case of loss or theft, the person must report the loss immediately to the nearest police or consular authority. The above authority carries out an investigation (which may last up to 3 months) into the circumstances under which the passport was lost or stolen. During the investigation, a new passport is not issued to the applicant unless it is deemed necessary that the applicant travel abroad to receive medical treatment.

In cases of emergency, provisional travelling documents can be issued for the repatriation of Greek citizens.
