Are you planning to travel overseas this year?
Renew or apply for your passport early.
- Passport demand remains high. You’ll need to allow at least six weeks to get your passport.
- Child applications can take longer to process because we need to conduct extra checks.
- You’ll need a foreign visa to enter some countries and you can’t get a visa without a valid passport.
- Some countries won’t let you enter on a passport that expires in less than six months. If your current passport has less than six months' validity (from the last day of your travel), you should renew your passport before leaving Australia.
To begin your passport application, you can start online by going here.
