Australia Sets 2026 Passport Fee at AUD $422 for Adults

Australia's Department of Home Affairs has published the official cost for applying for a passport in 2026. The fee for a 10-year adult passport is AUD $422 (about ₦432,000) for applicants aged 16 and over.

This fee took effect on January 1, 2026, and is applicable for both domestic and overseas applications. Applicants in Australia can submit their applications at Australia Post outlets or designated passport offices, with differing payment methods at each location.

At Australia Post, payments can be made using EFTPOS, MasterCard, Visa, American Express (AMEX), or cash. In contrast, passport offices only accept EFTPOS, MasterCard, and Visa, with no cash payments allowed.

For Australians applying for a passport while abroad, payments are typically made in the local currency, corresponding to the same Australian dollar fee, and are generally processed via EFTPOS or credit card.
