Jurisdiction of the Icelandic Consulate in Sydney
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade lists the jurisdiction of the Icelandic Consulate in Sydney as New South Wales.
Iceland’s Consulate General in Melbourne has a much wider Australian jurisdiction but expressly excludes New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. New South Wales is therefore served locally by the Sydney honorary consular post.
Check the appropriate office: contact the Sydney Consulate if you are unsure whether your particular matter can be handled by the honorary post or requires a professional Icelandic consular authority.
