Passports - Australian adult passport application
Service Description
Australian passports are issued only to Australian citizens. Passport application forms are available online and from most Australia Post outlets. The Australian Passport Office aims to post out your passport within 10 working days of receiving all required information and documentation. You should allow extra time for Australia Post outlets to forward your application to a passport office.
If you are in Australia, you can apply for a passport at most Australia Post outlets or, in special circumstances and after you have telephoned the Australian Passport Information Service for an appointment on 131 232, at a Passport Office.
If you are overseas, contact an Australian diplomatic or consular mission.
Passport application forms can be filled in and printed online, but not lodged. You will need to sign the completed application form in black ink and lodge it at the time of your personal interview, together with all of the supporting documentation listed on the application form.
