A replacement passport is a reprint of an existing passport with a new passport number. It is less than half the cost of a regular 10-year passport renewal.
The replacement passport’s expiry date will be the same as the existing passport. The existing passport must have at least two years validity remaining in order for a replacement passport to be issued.
You can apply for a replacement passport if your existing passport has:
-
run out of blank visa pages,
-
minor damage, or
-
been compromised in a data breach.
For other replacement passports such as Replacement of Emergency Passport / Replacement of Lost or Stolen Passport / Replacement of Seriously Damaged Passport / Name Change on Passport, please refer to the Adult Passport Application page.
A replacement passport application must be lodged in person and the existing passport must be presented at lodgement.
