Appointments remain necessary at Directorate‘s front desk

Details
04 Jun 2020

In order to provide quick and efficient services to our customers, the Directorate’s front desk in Dalvegur 18 will remain open only to those who have an appointment.

Appointments were introduced as a response to social distancing measures and restrictions on gatherings due to Covid-19, however, the arrangement has been well-received and will therefore remain unchanged despite the easing of restrictions on gatherings.

The arrangement makes it possible for us to distribute visits in the Directorate evenly throughout opening hours, thus ensuring that individuals, who have made an appointment, i.e. for having their picture taken for a residence card or for other urgent errands that cannot be resolved by other means, will be assisted as soon as they arrive.

At the same time, greater emphasis will be placed on the Directorate’s telephone 444 0900 and This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. services. Applicants and other customers are encouraged use these means to contact the service center for assistance.
