What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Norway and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Norwegian citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
When is the office closed?
The honorary consulate is normally closed on Swedish public holidays. On the Norwegian national day (17 May) the office is usually closed or holds a reception.
