Fee changes Citizenship application fee changes take effect from 1 July 2021. Fees are increasing to more accurately reflect the cost of application processing. Applicants will be charged the relevant fee-based on when the Department receives their application. The new fees apply if the Department receives the application and payment on or after 1 July 2021. The new fees applicable from 1 July 2021 are set out in the table below. The circumstances in which a fee concession applies from 1 July 2021 have been simplified. There are no changes to fee exemptions. For further information, see Fees:  Standard fee $490 Concession fee* $70 Child 15 years or younger applying on the same form as parent / Fee exemption^ Changes to citizenship certificates from 1 July 2021 From 1 July 2021, applicants approved for Australian citizenship by descent and Australian citizenship by adoption will receive an Australian citizenship certificate. This is instead of an Australian citizenship extract. An Australian citizenship extract is an informal document that can be used to access limited government services. An Australian citizenship certificate is an official document that provides formal evidence of Australian citizenship. Applicants for Australian citizenship by descent and adoption who: applied prior to 1 July 2021, and have their application approved on or after 1 July 2021 are also eligible to receive an Australian citizenship certificate instead of an extract. The Department will contact these applicants directly with more information. The Government will not issue citizenship extracts for applications approved on or after 1 July 2021. You can still use a citizenship extract (issued prior to 1 July 2021), to apply for an Australian Passport.
