Acceptable methods of payment

Fees may be charged in Australian or US dollars, depending on the date and location of processing.  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
  • American Express: San Francisco and Houston only
  • Apple Pay and CashApp (using Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover): San Francisco and Houston only 

Cash and cheques are not accepted at any office.

Another person may pay on your behalf, however if they are not present at your interview, we can accept their credit card payment if they complete and sign our Credit Card Authorisation Form.

You must present the signed authorisation form at your interview. Alternatively, you can purchase a prepaid Visa or MasterCard at many stores across the United States, including pharmacies.

Receiving your new passport

You should allow at least six weeks to receive your new passport.  Passports are despatched by FedEx according to the costs in the table above.  We can send up to 3 passports to one address using one FedEx fee. 

If you prefer, you can provide a prepaid letter-sized envelope with the courier company of your choice (eg. UPS, FedEx, etc). However, you must use a service that requires a signature on delivery. We will not use your courier envelope if it allows a delivery driver to leave your package unattended. We do not send passports via the US Postal Service.  Please note that the Washington office does not accept UPS courier envelopes at this time.
