Can I have two passports at once?

Yes, if you can show us that:

visa waiting times would cause significant travel delays if you only had one passport, or

a destination country won’t accept a passport showing evidence of travel to a third country, or

you have another good reason to need an additional passport.

If you have two passports, we call the second one a ‘concurrent’ passport.

Concurrent passports cost the same as standard ten-year passports but are only valid for up to three years.

To apply for a concurrent passport, you need to call us on 131 232 or contact an Australian diplomatic or consular mission.

If we decide that you don’t qualify for a concurrent passport, your application fee is generally not refundable. A decision not to refund the fee is a reviewable decision.
