Some websites offer to help you apply for an Australian passport, but they’re not official.
They may charge unnecessary fees or collect your personal information without your consent.
Only apply for an Australian passport through the official government website: passports.gov.au
Protect yourself online by following these tips:
- only use the official government website passports.gov.au to apply for a passport
- never share personal information on third-party websites
- check the URL ends in ‘.gov.au’ to ensure it’s legitimate.
If you’ve already used an unofficial site, contact IDCare(link is external) for more advice.
