 Applying by post – PC7 adult renewals only

STEP 1 -  Eligibility for 'mailed-in' passport renewals

For a renewal by post, you must be 18 years and over, and you will need a passport that:

• was issued when you were aged 16 or older
• was issued on or after 1 January 2006
• had, when it was issued, at least two years' validity (not an emergency passport)
• has your current name, date of birth, place of birth and gender, and
• has not been reported lost, stolen, or cancelled

If you do not meet these criteria, you'll need to follow the above process and book an appointment to lodge your application in person in Malta.

• your signature is completely inside the whole box with no alterations or 'whiteout' on the signature or date
• Your form is printed correctly with no sections missing or cut-off
• Your place of birth is exactly the same as your previous Australian passport
• Three passport photos that must meet specific Australian standards. Photos must be taken within the last six months
• See passport photo guidelines here
• Lightly attach the photos to the form so we can check if they are the correct size and proportions (do not glue them on)
• Then email the form to us for checking at [email protected]

► Emergency Passport

If you are submitting a postal application for an emergency passport, please include your physical passport with the application (unless it has been lost or stolen) as it will need to be physically cancelled before the emergency passport can be issued.
