Telephone
The Australian Passport Information Service (APIS) provides a telephone information service to callers in Australia (including Norfolk Island) seven days a week. When you call your questions will be answered by trained and experienced staff. APIS is not a passport office.
You can call APIS on 131 232 for the cost of a local call. Please note that due to the current demand on this service, you may experience an extended wait time. See APIS opening hours.
APIS also arranges appointments for you to lodge your passport or renewal applications at an Australian passport office if:
- you need to travel urgently because of unforeseen, compassionate reasons or other exceptional circumstances, or
- you need a travel document other than an Australian passport.
If your travel is not urgent, you may lodge your passport application at an accredited Australia Post outlet. Visit auspost.com.au or call Australia Post on 137 678 to find the nearest outlet that will accept your application.
If overseas please contact an Australian diplomatic or consular mission.
Please note you do not need an appointment to collect your passport.
Feedback
If you require information about an existing passport or passport application, please call APIS on 131 232 for advice. Due to Australian privacy laws this information cannot be provided via an email request.
