Passports

We no longer issue standard (5 and 10 year) British passports at this High Commission.  You now need to apply for your passport at our Regional Passport Processing Centre in Wellington.

The Regional Passport Processing Centre website will tell you everything you need to know about applying for a new or replacement British passport from Australia.

Further detailed information on the application process is available here.

Why have we done this? Please see this leaflet [PDF, 77.0 Kb, new window] for all the changes related to the way we issue passports overseas.  If you need to travel urgently and your standard passport is not available we may be able to help you with emergency travel documentation:

• The Emergency Travel Document Leaflet
  
• Emergency Travel Document Application Form (Rest of the World) [PDF, 168.3 Kb].
  

Within Australia, please call your nearest Consular Section in Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne or Perth.

If in New Zealand please contact the Consular Section of the High Commission in Wellington.
