Where's my application number?

People often ask us, 'How can I find my application number?'. There are a few different places you can find it, such as:

  • on the Australia Post or overseas payment receipt from when you paid the passport fee
  • in the confirmation email we sent you when you created your online application
  • in the 'Applications created' section when you log into your AusPassport account.

For more information, see tracking your lodged application.

With your application number, you can use our status tracker(Opens in a new tab/window) to check the progress of your passport application.
