Consulate of Colombia in Canberra

Consular service for six Australian jurisdictions

The Consulate of Colombia in Canberra is responsible for residents of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Western Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory, South Australia and Victoria. Although the Embassy also holds diplomatic accreditation to New Zealand and several Pacific states, routine consular service for New Zealand is assigned to Auckland.

Services and appointment channels

• Services the office lists online: apostilles, criminal-record, residence and proof-of-life certificates; Colombian visas for foreign nationals; some identity-card duplicates and civil-registry copies.
• In-person appointment required: first issue or replacement of identity cards; passports; birth, marriage and death registrations; signature recognition for a specific power of attorney; a child's travel authorisation; public deeds for a general power of attorney; and voter-registration transfers.

To request a slot, first update your Consular Registration and then complete the waiting-list form. The office publishes appointments for the next 21 calendar days. Personal and contact details must match in both forms; if your procedure is not listed, select “other” or email the consulate. Availability depends on the slots released.

Before visiting

Check the procedure's document list and bring originals and copies as required. A tariff sheet on the site is dated 2024, so its prices are not presented here as current; confirm today's fee and payment method in your appointment instructions. The Consular Section shares a building with the Embassy, but procedure enquiries should go to the Consular Section.
