No problem... it can be easy to get lost in the forest of information.
Yes. You apply online via ImmiAccount.
Once you have the certificate in hand you can lodge the application for a passport at a Participating Australian Post outlet.
Thanks Again. So after going again through the links I have following questions wrt getting citizenship evidence for the newborn. ...
1. The parent will use his/her immiaccount and applicant name will be newborn . Is this correct?
2. While creating online application it's asks for national identity. What will be national identity for newborn in Australia? Can I say none as when I click on help then it doesn't list Australia? Or should I use birth certificate? I believe there is another section too where I am adding birth certificate details.
3. While giving birth certificate details should I add birth registration number OR certificate number?
4. Since the parent is creating application for newborn so in this case identity declaration document has to be only for newborn OR for parent as well? This is bit confusing. Since identity declaration form for applicant is asking to enter responsible parent details as well so Is it correct to say that I just need one form 1195 and that too for newborn only? Or even parent need to submit another form 1195.
5. Can we take the newborn pic ourselves OR is there any specific place for this?
6. In the identity declaration form 1195, ques 2 and 3 , the details of person making identity Declaration has to be someone other than parents?
If parent has to submit form 1195 too, then can same person declare their identity as well who declared for newborn?
Thanks
