This line is available 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., 7 days a week. Information is available in more than 300 languages.
You may have to wait for an agent if call volumes are high.
Once your appointment is booked, the call centre agent will provide you with a booking confirmation code. Please write down this number and bring it with you to your appointment.
