If you are an Australian visa holder or applicant, you must notify the Department of Home Affairs if you have received a new passport before traveling into or out of Australia. This includes when you receive a new passport after your visa has been granted.
Updating your passport details helps link your new passport to your visa or application, ensuring there are no delays when you travel to Australia. This requirement applies to all visa holders, applicants, and even permanent residents of Australia.
How to Update Your Passport Details:
-
You can update your passport details quickly via your ImmiAccount, and most updates are processed instantly.
-
If you do not have an ImmiAccount, you will need to complete an online form. Please note that this may take additional processing time.
For more information or to update your passport details, visit the Department of Home Affairs website (homeaffairs.gov.au).
