Most visitors never need an embassy in Iceland, but when a passport vanishes or something serious happens, knowing who to call saves hours. Nearly every mission is in Reykjavik, and all details below are as of 2026, so confirm numbers on the official site before you rely on them.

In an emergency, call 112 first
Dial 112 for police, ambulance, fire or rescue. It works across the country, including the Highlands. Embassies do not run emergency services, so they come second. After 112, call your consular line, especially if you are hospitalised, a victim of crime or involved in a serious accident. Our Iceland safety guide covers risks like weather and river crossings.
What embassies can and cannot do
Staff can issue emergency travel documents, contact family, help you find medical care or a lawyer, and visit you if you are detained. They cannot pay bills, arrange free flights, get you out of legal trouble or give legal advice. A good travel insurance policy covers what consular staff will not, such as medical evacuation and cancelled trips.
If you lose your passport
- Report the loss or theft to the local police and ask for a written report.
- Contact your embassy, using the appointment or online form it requires.
- Bring photo ID, a copy of your passport if you have one, passport photos and your flight details.
- Collect an emergency travel document. These are valid for a short, direct journey and may not be accepted everywhere, so check your onward route.
If you are not a citizen of any country listed above, check whether an EU embassy can help you, since EU citizens can ask any EU member state’s embassy for assistance. Entry rules are in our Iceland visa guide.
Once your documents are sorted, get back to the trip with a Reykjavik tour.
