Passport applications, including renewals, can be lodged in-person or by mail.
For children’s applications (18 years old and under), a parent/person with parental responsibility for the child must lodge the application in person.
The Embassy does not provide escorting services, so if you are applying in person you will need to arrange your own entrance to the International Zone.
Create an AusPassport account and complete your application form online at Passports.gov.au for lodgement.
Passports are printed in Australia. After an application has been accepted for lodgement, it generally takes around 4–6 weeks for the passport to be delivered to the Embassy. You will then be contacted to arrange a time to collect the passport or have it sent to you.
