Acceptable methods of payment
Fees may be charged in Australian or US dollars, depending on the location of processing and/or whether it is an in-person or mail-in application. Payment is taken at the time of lodgement.
All offices accept payment by Visa and Mastercard (credit or debit). The following offices accept these additional card types:
- Discover: Honolulu, Houston, New York, San Francisco and Washington only
- Apple Pay and CashApp (using Visa, MasterCard, and Discover): San Francisco and Houston only
Cash and cheques are not accepted at any office.
Another person may pay on your behalf. If they are not present at your interview, they can print, complete and sign a Credit Card Authorisation Form for you to bring to your interview or include with your mail-in application.
Alternatively, you can buy a prepaid Visa or MasterCard at many stores in the United States (e.g. at pharmacies) and use it to pay the fees at your interview.
A pre-paid card can also be used to pay for a mail-in application (if you are eligible to renew via mail) but you must print, complete (using the pre-paid card number and CVV security code) and sign a Credit Card Authorisation Form and include it with the pre-paid card and your mail-in application.
Receiving your new passport
Your new passport will be sent to you by our office via FedEx. Up to 3 passports can be sent to one address using one FedEx fee (see the table above for current FedEx fee rates).
If you prefer, you can provide your own prepaid letter-sized return envelope, but you must use a service that requires a signature on delivery:
- We will not use your return envelope if it allows a delivery driver to leave your package unattended.
- Washington, Houston and New York do not accept pre-paid UPS courier envelopes.
- We do not send passports via the US Postal Service.
