Sign the form using a black pen only, within the white signature box with no alterations or ‘whiteout’ on the signature or the date. If your signature touches the edge of the box or beyond, the application cannot be processed.

Two Australian standard passport photos, less than six months old, with your full name written on the back of one photo with a black pen. The photos must meet our photo guidelines.

We will email you when your passport has arrived at the Embasssy for you to collect, or with the postage tracking details if you have paid for us to post it to you.

Due to increased demand, passports are currently taking 4-6 weeks to arrive at the Embassy from successful lodgement. Incomplete applications will cause delays.
