Passports

Australian citizens in Canada and Bermuda can lodge passport applications at the Australian High Commission in Ottawa, the Consulate-General in Toronto or the Consulate in Vancouver.

It is important to be aware of passport application requirements before seeking to lodge an application. This information and application forms are available on the Australian Passports Office website. Access here the list of guarantors approved for use in Canada and Bermuda.

Where original passport application supporting documentation is in a language other than English, an original English translation by an approved certified translator must also be provided.  Approved translators must be certified by provincial and territorial bodies which are members of the Canadian Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters Council.
