Who can certify both parents’ identity documents?
Parent’s identity documents can be certified by the original issuing authority, by a Notary Public or by the Australian Embassy. Note: the Australian Embassy can only certify original documents if physically presented at the Embassy, and only prior to lodgement of a passport application. A fee is applied to these Notarial services. Do Not mail the original documents to the Embassy when lodging the application. - How will I know if/when my application has been received at the Embassy?
Once the application has been received and confirmed to be complete, a passport officer will contact the person who lodged the form to advise how to make the payment. Please ensure you provide current contact details with the application.
- Will the Embassy post the child’s new passport to me?
If you wish the child’s new passport to be mailed to you from the Embassy, please ensure you provide a pre-paid courier envelope along with the passport application, to facilitate the mailing of the new passport. Alternatively, you may arrange to pick up the passport from the Embassy directly.
The new passport will be posted to the postal address provided on the passport application form (PC8). If your circumstances have since changed, please contact the mission where you mailed your application to discuss alternative options.
- What if I cannot access the online portal to complete and print a PC8 application to renew my child’s passport?
Contact the Australian Embassy in Phnom Penh for further advice.
