Renewing my passport between 820 and 801 application. Do I need to inform the DoHA?

[Arese]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently on an 820 which was granted in February 2021.

I will be eligible to apply for the 801 on February 2023.

However, I just applied to renew my passport and I was wondering if there was something I should do? I will receive my new passport in 7 weeks and at the embassy, they told me that my new passport will have a new passport number.

And my 820 grant notice was granted based on old passport which will be soon canceled (when I pick up my new passport). 

Do I need to contact the DoHA to let them know and eventually for them to issue a new 820 grant notification with my new passport number?

Thanks

You can advise them through your Immiaccount. They then link the passport numbers together. You don't get a new grant notice but the system will know the two passports are linked once you upload the new one.

Thank you for your answer, I appreciate it.

Ok cool, I wasn't sure if I could still interact and upload documents through my finalised application in my Immiaccount.

Thanks for the info, I'll do that as soon as I get my new passport then

From memory I think there's an actual form you can submit through the Immiaccount specifically to advise of a new passport - as a separate form, not specifically part of the 820, as thats now been granted.

I haven't used it for a few years, but maybe someone with a current account can advise you a bit further. There's definitely a way to do it through the account, and its a requirement of the 820 that you let them know about it.

I would suggest if you are travelling internationally that you take both passports with you, as sometimes the online system takes a while to update

Got it, thanks for confirming that it's done via my Immiaccount, that's the most important bit of information. If it's in there I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Appreciate the help, that's one less thing to worry about. Next is the 801 application

Quick update, for anyone who comes across this post looking for the same information.

The form to update your passport is actually linked to your application. 

Click on your latest application even if it's finalised then you'll get to the home menu of your application and you have to click on update details on the left-hand menu as highlighted below

Cheers
