You need to tell us when you get a new passport so that we can link it to your visa or application. The quickest way to do this is to update your passport details in your ImmiAccount.
Note: This excludes holders of the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) 601. If you obtain a new passport, please apply for a new
ETA using your new passport, as the ETA cannot be transferred to a new passport.

- Login to
ImmiAccount

If you have not used ImmiAccount before you can
Create an ImmiAccount. You may then be able to import your application to use the online change of passport form.
You can import an application into ImmiAccount if:
- you have an in-progress paper application or
- an online application was lodged for you by someone else, such as a Migration Agent or Legal Practitioner.
For more information refer to Import an application.

You need to use the
New Passport Details web form if:
- your travel document is a Titre de Voyage or Certificate of Identity document
- you applied for a partner visa and it is not visible in your ImmiAccount
- your application ID on your acknowledgement letter begins with ‘IRIS’
- you have had a change of sex and/or gender.
Do not use this form if you hold an Australian passport. Refer to Return documents.
Change to your sex and/or gender
If you are notifying us of a change to your sex and/or gender information, please provide one of the following as evidence of your sex and/or gender:
- a statement from a Registered Medical Practitioner or a Registered Psychologist which specifies your gender
- a valid Australian Government travel document, such as a valid passport, which specifies your gender
- a state or territory birth certificate, which specifies your gender. A document from a state or territory Registrar of Birth Deaths and Marriages recognising a change of sex and/or gender will be seen as sufficient evidence.
