Temporary passport interview locations
The Australian Embassy and Australian Consulates-General occasionally visit other states to conduct passport interviews. The number of visits are limited and only a small number of locations are visited each year. We do not visit each state and do not maintain an annual schedule as visits occur only when required for official business purposes. We can normally provide 1-2 months notice of a confirmed visit, which we advertise on this web page and through our Facebook and Twitter accounts. If you already have travel planned, you should make immediate arrangements to lodge at one of our regular passport offices.
