Emergency travel / passport to UK

[pootle]

Hi,
My partner needs to get back to UK very quickly. His British passport is currently being renewed but he won't get it back in time. I know we can apply for an emergency document, but just wanted to confirm that this can be done through Auckland British Consulate-General? We are in Auckland and hoping he doesn't have to go down to Wellington for this. Does anyone know? One web link suggests Auckland is fine, but another directs straight to Wellington.
Thanks
