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.
