Other consular services

Notarial and documentary services

We may be able to offer notarial services, including administer an oath, affirmation or affidavit; witness a signature, or make a certified copy of a document. See the full list of notarial and documentary services we provide.

Consular fees

We charge fees for some of our services. See the full list of consular fees in Myanmar.

Development work in Myanmar

Our aim is to help Myanmar continue on a path to being a better governed, fairer and more peaceful society. A third of the population lives in conflict-affected areas, many out of the reach of the Myanmar state. The peace process is proving to be slow and could regress, leaving many people in continued danger, unable to live safe lives.
