It is also responsible for Iceland foreign affairs in Australia, DPRK (North Korea), Mongolia, New Zealand, R.O.K (South Korea) and cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.

About Passport
Since May 17, 2006, Iceland began to issue a new Biometric Passport. From July 2006, the embassies in Washington, London, Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm can accept the applications of Icelandic Biometric Passports. However, other Icelandic embassies and consulates can't accept applications of the new kind of passport. They can only offer services of passport renewal (prolong the validity for one year) and issue Emergency Passport which is not an ideal travel documents. Emergency Passports are issued when Icelandic citizens can't apply for a new passport through Icelandic embassies or consulates.
