Passports are Australia’s most secure and technologically advanced form of ID, used by around 9 million Australians to travel overseas every year.
DFAT issues more than 2 million passports every year. That equates to more than 8,000 passports issued every working day, or one every 3 seconds.
DFAT is proud of the work it does in getting world-class passports to Australians, so that they can get to where they want to go.
