We've introduced a new passport application status tracker!
The status tracker lets you check the progress of your passport application online, including an estimated date for when your passport will be ready to collect or post.
All passports can now be tracked, including child, priority and fast-track applications, as well as those lodged overseas.
You can use the status tracker once you've lodged your passport application. You will need your application number (e.g. AB123456A). If you don't have your application number, see where do I find my application number?
You can also sign into your AusPassport account to check the status of your application. You can access your AusPassport account from the apply or renew page.
This new service is one of several exciting changes to modernise Australia's passport service. Stay tuned!
