Processing Times for Australian Passports & Priority Service

We aim to issue passports within 10 working days of receipt of a complete application, ie. a correctly completed application form with all the required supporting documents, including photographs which meet the guidelines.

If you pay the Priority Processing Fee (PPF),  the passport will be processed within 2 working days.  For applicants lodging in Edinburgh the 2 working days begins when the application is receipted in the London office.

If you lodge your application by post and wish to use the Priority Processing Service, please write "Priority Processing Service" on the front of the envelope in which you send your application to us.  A separate PPF is payable for each application lodged.

Following complaints about the UK postal service and given the close connection between passport fraud and border and national security issues, tighter controls have been introduced for delivery of Australian passports within the UK. Both your new and your old passports will be returned to you separately by special delivery at an additional cost of £11.00 (£5.50 per passport). We do not offer a collection service.
