Download and print your application form and e-receipt on an A4-size bond paper. These will be presented and submitted to the DFA during your appointment. Prepare the original and photocopies of your IDs and documents and have both ready during your visit.
Select the 'Renew online' button. Create an AusPassport account. Complete, print and sign your application form.

Allow a minimum of six weeks to get a new passport or renew your old one. Where possible, don't book travel without a valid passport. If you're likely to travel in the next six months, you should apply or renew now. Some countries won't let you enter on a passport that expires in less than six months.
To make an appointment, call 1-877-487-2778. Se habla español. Be sure to keep track of the appointment confirmation number and the check-in instructions you will receive by email from the National Passport Information Center. You will need this information on the day of your appointment.
You need to book a passport office appointment and pay online. You can book an appointment up to 3 weeks in advance. Do not book travel until you have a valid passport - your new passport will not have the same number as your old one.
Appointments can be made by calling us on 131 232. If you are picking up your new passport, visit your nearest passport office. Australian Passport Offices are not open on Australian national public holidays.
You can fill out the form using the online form filler of the Department of State website (https://pptform.state.gov/) or print it out and fill it out by hand using a black pen. If you fill out the form electronically, at the end of the questionnaire there is an option to generate the form as a PDF file.
You should apply for a passport renewal if your passport is expiring or has recently expired. You must renew your passport within 5 years of the date it expired. If you wait longer than that, you'll have to use the same procedure as a first-time passport applicant.
Even if your passport hasn't expired yet, you often need to renew before it does. Some countries require passports that are valid six months beyond the date of your trip. So, even if yours hasn't expired yet, check that it's not expiring within the next 12 months.
Passport renewals are often conducted by mail. However, your post office cannot renew your passport — you must send your renewal application to the State Department. Many post offices are also passport application acceptance facilities.
You can renew your expired Australian passport online. To do so, applicants must log into the account at AusPassport and proceed with the renewal procedure.
