New policy on passport photos
The Australian Passport Office no longer allows glasses in passport photos taken from 1 July 2018. Glasses may be allowed in rare circumstances where glasses cannot be removed for medical reasons (e.g. the applicant has severe light sensitivity or recently had eye surgery and glasses are necessary to protect their eyes). In these cases, a medical certificate is required to be presented at lodgement of the passport application. The medical certificate must be signed by a medical practitioner and state the medical reason glasses cannot be removed.
Applications for Australian passports must be lodged in person. Children under 16 years do not need to attend interviews. You will need to make an appointment. We will only see you in exceptional circumstances without an appointment.
The below information is for passport appointments only. To make an appointment to collect an Australian citizenship certificate, please email: [email protected]
Given the ongoing situation with COVID-19, we ask for your patience when making appointments. Clients should be aware that they will be temperature screened on arrival at the Australian High Commission. All visitors while in the Australian High Commission must wear a mask in line with the Singaporean Ministry of Health direction. Social distancing measures are also in place. Please note that you will only be permitted entry into the High Commission, no more than 15 minutes before your appointment time.
Please select the correct appointment type matching your application. To lodge two applications at the same time, select 2 Passport applications or for three applications, select 3 Passport applications. Please contact us in advance if you are applying for more than three passports at the same time. Take care to make the correct selection as this may affect our ability to complete your application during the appointed time.
Please note that appointments are normally booked out up to 2 weeks in advance. Keep this in mind when making your travel plans.

Passports will be delivered by Singapore Registered Mail to a local address, free of charge.
