Standard passports

Standard passports are usually processed in approximately 1 month but, due to current backlogs, can take up to 6 weeks. Allow extra time for delivery.

We encourage you to consider this timing when planning a trip and apply for your passport with enough time to spare. 

Urgent passports

Urgent passports are processed in up to 3 working days. Allow additional time for delivery.

Working days do not include weekends or public holidays.

If you need to travel sooner than 3 days, apply for an urgent passport and then call us straight away. You may need our after-hours service.
