The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issues passports to be used as evidence of identity and citizenship by Australians travelling internationally.

Lodge your passport application at Australia Post. This includes applications under the faster processing services.

For further information, visit the Passports website.

In special circumstances (for example, a compassionate or compelling need to travel urgently), you can lodge your passport application at a passport office. This service is by appointment only. To make an appointment, call the Australian Passport Office Call Centre on 131 232. You can find the Passport Office locations and opening hours on the Passports website.
