Interview

You may be asked to attend an interview as part of your passport application.

Once the British Consulate General Jakarta has received a fully completed application they will establish that the customer’s identity exists and that they are entitled to a British passport. If a customer requires an interview he/she will be notified accordingly and given a date, time and location to attend.

From 8 September 2008 the British Consulate General Jakarta in Indonesia introduced compulsory interviews for some applicants who:

• Are applying for a British passport for the first time.
• Are applying for a replacement passport following the loss or theft of more than one passport over a short period;
• Have changed their name, except if that change follows marriage, civil partnership, divorce or dissolution;
• Have not held a valid British passport for more than 10 years;
• Are renewing an old style blue passport;
• Hold a British Overseas Territories passport, other than Gibraltar.
• The British Consulate General Jakarta has the discretion to interview any applicant on a case-by-case basis.

If an interview is requested, applicants will be required to supply full documentation. The British Consulate General Jakarta will notify you with what documents are required.

Please

• Make sure you submit your passport application in plenty of time before you expect to travel.
• Don’t leave it until the last minute.
• Allow plenty of time to attend an interview as you may have a long journey to our Consular Office.
