10.5 Identity cards

The honorary consul has the right to receive an identity card once the exequatur has been granted. A request to this effect should be submitted through a verbal note to the Protocol Department by the mission together with a copy of the honorary consul's passport (or driving licence/national identity card) and one photo (standard passport photo). Identity cards are valid for a maximum of five years and can be renewed for five years at a time, at the mission's request.
