Are you thinking of going overseas? (Cause I am all the time) Then you should probably check your expiry date of your passport now. And if you are DUE for a passport renewal and plan to go on an overseas trip within the next 12 months, do it sooner then later, renew before July 1st to avoid paying the extra fee!
| Fees as of | 5-year passport (for children under 16) | 10-year passport (for persons aged 16 and over) |
| 1 January 2021 | $152 | $301 |
| 1 January 2022 | $155 | $308 |
| 1 January 2023 | $164 | $325 |
| 1 January 2024 | $175 | $346 |
| 1 July 2024 | $397.9 (+15% increase) |
Whilst the price of an Australian passport increases each New Year due to indexation, a 2nd price increase will incur this year to support government priorities in the Foreign Affairs and Trade portfolio.
