630465 2008-01-15 23:22:00 Does anyone know if your passport number stays the same when you renew it (due to it having expired)? george12 (7)
630466 2008-01-16 00:51:00 Yup, all consular matters such as passports and visa's are handled by the Consulate in Auckland. All diplomatic and emergency related issues are handled by the embassy. What happened when you called the local numbers in Auckland Geroge? beeswax34 (63)
630467 2008-01-16 02:04:00 I just got through, message saying welcome to American Embassy calls cost $3-50 a minute if you don't wish to pay this please hang up , which I did.
:)


You better check your bill at the end of the month, as you may still be charged. I once rung an 0900 number, and it said if I don't want to be charged to hang up now, but I was still charged for the 1st minute.

630468 2008-01-16 03:24:00 I got through to them after several tries. It seems it works intermittantly...?

I now have an appointment in April. One odd thing is they want a 2" x 2" photo. Passport photos are smaller than this, so where do I get such an odd-sized photo from??

I thought NZ required measurements in NZ to be metric. Being the US, I guess they are a law unto themselves.

Yeah a lot of countries require photos that are so small, India for eg. Go to your local photo shop, a proper professional one and ask for ID sized photos and they'll sort you out which worked for me or they might just crop some to the right size.
