Need to Show You're an Australian Citizen?
Whether it is for a passport, school enrollment, or for legal proceedings, you may need to produce authoritative proof that you are an Australian citizen. If you do not have a certificate of citizenship or your own information has altered, you will need to apply for Evidence of Australian Citizenship.
At Apex Immigration Australia, we make it happen — right, fast, and hassle-free.
What Is the Evidence of Citizenship?
This is a certificate from the Department of Home Affairs that verifies your Australian citizenship. It's typically required when:
- You were born in Australia before 1986 and need proof
- You were born or adopted into citizenship
- You were granted citizenship, but never got or lost your certificate
- Your data has changed, and you need fresh evidence
It is not the same as an Australian passport — it is a standalone document that makes you a citizen.
Why Would You Need It?
You may need to present this certificate when:
- Applying for an Australian passport
- Enrollment of your kids in school
- Receiving Centrelink or other government benefits
- Registration of birth or legal document renewal
- Resolving dispute over your status
What You'll Need to Apply
- Identification documents (passport, birth certificate, identification photo)
- Proof of citizenship (if previously acquired)
- Certificates of change of name, if any
- Any expired or destroyed certificates (if replacing)
