Major Aussie passport change coming on Jan 1

The Australian government is set to introduce a significant change to its passport application process starting January 1, 2024. This change will allow Australians to apply for or renew their passports entirely online, eliminating the need for in-person visits to Australia Post or other service centers for identity verification. Applicants will use the MyGovID app for identity verification, which involves facial recognition technology to confirm identity. This digital transformation aims to streamline the process, making it more convenient for citizens while also enhancing security measures. The initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize government services, reducing wait times and administrative burdens associated with passport applications.
