Passports for adults (18 years and over)

Passport applications can be submitted in person either at the Embassy in Canberra, the Consulate General in Sydney, the Honorary Consulate General in Melbourne or the Honorary Consulate in Auckland.

Regardless of your age, you must submit your passport application in person. The Danish Mission will take a digital photograph of you, collect your fingerprints as well as your digital signature. All of these details will be used in your new biometric passport.

Should you be unable to pick up the passport in person, it may be collected by a relative or friend. This requires presentation of a written authority from you, as well as photo ID of the person authorised to collect the passport. 

At time of application, it is possible to arrange to have your new passport delivered at another Danish mission or representation for collection, incl. a municipality in Denmark. Please note this incurs an additional fee - Fee can be viewed on The Ministry of Foreign Affairs list of fees.
