Adult Passport - Concurrent Passport

INTRODUCTION:
Subject to approval, you can apply for a concurrent passport – a second passport of the same kind as your first – to facilitate international travel.  Approval is generally limited to cases where:

  • 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.

Concurrent passports are issued for a maximum of three years. The normal application fee applies and is non-refundable.

 

1. Complete your renewal application form online

  • The application must be lodged within six months of completion.
  • You cannot download blank forms.

2. Print and sign your application form

  • Print your application on plain white A4 paper, using black ink only. Make sure your form has printed in full and isn't cut off at the top or bottom of the page.
  • US standard letter paper or US legal paper sizes are also acceptable, but only if they’re scaled properly. Refer to more information on printing your application form
  • Sign and date the form using black pen, within the signature box. 

3. Obtaining Compliant Photos

  • Two recent identical colour photos, taken less than six months from the application submission with your full name and signature written on the back of one photo. Refer to photo guidelines for more information.
  • Your photos do not need to be signed or endorsed by a guarantor.
  • Do NOT attach the photos to the form as this may damage them.
  • If you are unsure of the quality of the photo provided to you, request a digital copy / .jpeg file from the photo studio. 

4. Complete a Form B15

  • You must provide the B15 (Application for a concurrent passport) form with your application. 
  • The form sets out the conditions for the issue of a concurrent passport together with its attachment which must be completed by you (Section A) and if the travel is for business purposes, by your employer (Section B) together with a supporting letter from your employer.
  • The form B15 must be submitted with the application form.
