About the Business
Welcome to the British Consulate General Sydney, located at Macquarie Place, 1 in the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia. As an embassy and point of interest, we proudly represent the UK government in Australia.
At the British Consulate General Sydney, we provide a range of services to British nationals living in and visiting New South Wales. Whether you need assistance with travel documents, emergency support, or information on getting married in Australia, our dedicated team is here to help.
For British citizens traveling in Australia, we offer valuable travel advice to ensure your safety and well-being. In case of any emergencies, we have a 24/7 helpline available for urgent assistance.
If you find yourself in need of an emergency travel document (ETD), we can assist you in obtaining one, especially if your passport has been lost, stolen, damaged, or expired. Parents or guardians can also apply for ETDs on behalf of their children under the age of 16.
Please note that bookings for our services are reservations only, and we kindly request that you wait for our staff to confirm the date and time before making any formal arrangements.
While we no longer register same-sex marriages in British consulates in Australia due to updates in Australian legislation, we can assist in converting existing civil partnerships into marriages. This service is available to those who have been living in Australia for at least 28 days.
For British nationals residing in Australia who wish to marry in another country, it is necessary to travel to that country to post notice of the marriage.
Please be aware that some of our services incur fees, which can be found in the full list of consular fees in Australia.
We are conveniently located on Level 16, Gateway Building, 1 Macquarie Place, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Please remember not to include any personal or financial information, such as your National Insurance number or credit card details, in any communication with us.
Thank you for choosing the British Consulate General Sydney. We look forward to assisting you with your needs and providing you with the highest level of service.

"Staff can’t even understand English some American lady, not helpful and a waste of time calling. It’s 20 mins I’ll never get back would be nice if they supplied a helpful service that helped you when your in need !"
"Excellent, quick and helpful service to obtain an Emergency passport. Just one important thing to bear in mind.....follow the online advice and procedures, do not expect just to turn up without an appointment."
"Wish I could give -5 . The person on the line do not have any knowledge and cannot speak clear English. They will put you through chains of phone transfer leading to no where and gets disconnected at the end. They will ask you to pay n ask for credits card details for general information. They are scammers. Nobody receives the call during office hours. I thought British embassy was meant to be organised. Disappointed ☹️"
