Australia boasts one of the world’s most secure passport systems. Maintaining the greatest security and integrity in the Australian passport system is our primary consideration. It protects Australians and their identity in Australia and all over the world.
The Australian Passport Office publishes the fees for issuing an Australian passport, depending on the type and validity of the document. For applicants located overseas, in addition to the cost of the document, you will pay an overseas surcharge.

What if I can't find a guarantor in Iran?
Some applicants find it difficult to obtain a guarantor in Iran. Usually this is because they have recently relocated to Iran and do not know anyone here who has known them for longer than 12 months.
If you are unable to obtain a guarantor in Iran, you should obtain a guarantor from a country where you previously lived – e.g. Australia. You will need to send them Section 11 of the PC8 form, together with one of your passport photos, for them to sign. Once they have signed the documents, they must send the originals back to you so that you can submit them when you lodge your application. We cannot accept faxes or emails from your guarantor. They must send the originals back to you for lodgement.
