wattsy1982 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi All, Excuse me if this has been asked before but to save trawling old threads I thought id post again. We are due for citizenship in a few months and I was wondering on the proceedure. I know you have to apply, then get accepted (hopefully) the sit a test, then wait for the ceremony....all good so far! Once the ceremony has taken place do we receive a certificate (or something) there and then, and then do we use that to get our passports? I guess my question is how long/quick can we get passports after the ceremony? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toOZ2012 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 You get the citizenship certificate at the ceremony (Unless the person that signs your certificates before the ceremony is unavailable for some reason - was reported by a forum member in one of the threads). You then use the certificate to apply for a passport. Waiting a week before heading to the post office should be plenty, in my experience anyway.

ScottieGirl Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 One you have the certificate you can head straight to the post office provided you have completed the application form. It takes 3 weeks to issue a passport but you can pay for priority processing. https://ppol.passports.gov.au/web/forms/entrypoint.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
