September 22, 2020

Location: Western Australia

Event: Expansion of routine consular appointments for U.S. citizens at U.S. Consulate General Perth

Beginning September 23, the U.S. Consulate General in Perth will be offering expanded routine consular services for residents of Western Australia. The Consulate will be open for routine passport, consular report of birth abroad (CRBA), notarial, and loss of nationality services three days a week (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays). Applicants seeking a passport, CRBA, or notarial service must book an appointment online.  Please see this webpage for information about booking an appointment.

To inquire about a loss of nationality appointment, please contact perthacs@state.gov. We will contact you directly to schedule your loss of nationality appointment. These appointments will be limited so please plan for lengthy delays in processing a loss of nationality application.

Please note that these expanded consular appointments are only for residents of Western Australia.  Residents returning to Western Australia whether from overseas or inter-state must complete a 14-day quarantine before scheduling an appointment at the Consulate. Those travelers who are unable to provide proof of quarantine will have their appointments canceled.

If you wish to drop off your ballot at the consulate, you may do so from any Monday through Friday during normal business hours between 08:30 and 14:00. If you wish to mail the ballot to the consulate, please use the mailing address below.

We cannot predict processing times. U.S. citizens with immediate travel should request an emergency appointment by emailing perthacs@state.gov.

If you have previously applied for a passport or citizenship service, you should expect significant delays receiving your passport and your citizenship evidence documents. We will process all complete applications in the order in which they were received and as quickly as possible.
