How do I print my application form?
Print your application on plain white A4 paper in portrait orientation. Use black ink only.
You can now print single or double sided (we are updating our application documentation to reflect this change).
For your printer settings, choose the option closest in meaning to “Fit to page/printable area”. Check before you print, as some browsers don’t select this option by default.

Where can I see the status of an application?
You can see the status of an application under “Checklists and documents created” on the dashboard.
If you applied for an adult passport in Australia, the application status will be displayed as:
- Awaiting lodgement: The application checklist is ready for you to print and lodge. You have to do this within 28 days after generating the checklist.
- Lodged: You have lodged your application.
- Under assessment: We’re assessing your application.
- Passport issued: We’ve printed your passport.
- Expired: Your checklist is unusable. You’ll have to update it and create it again before you can take it to Australia Post.
If you applied for a child passport or overseas, the application status will be displayed as::
- Created: Your application is ready for printing and lodging.
- Passport issued: We’ve printed your passport.
How do I delete an incomplete application?
You can delete any incomplete application and start again.
Under the “Incomplete applications” section select the “Delete” button next to the application you want to delete.
Why has the system deleted my application?
If you applied for an adult application in Australia, once you lodge your application and your application is under assessment, the application summary and application checklist will no longer be available.
If you don’t lodge your application checklist within 28 days and don’t update your application we’ll delete it after 45 days.
Child and overseas applications are available for 45 days.
