Proof of Citizenship 2019

  • Proof of Citizenship / Eligibility

  • Australian Citizenship

  • Required Documentation

  • An Australian Passport or Citizenship certificate is suitable evidence of Australian citizenship. Please upload a copy as proof of your citizenship.
  • If applicants do not have an Australian Passport, they must provide:

    • Their full birth certificate issued by an Australian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages (RBDM).

  • If applicants do not have an Australian Passport, and where one (or both) of the applicant’s parents was an Australian citizen at the time of their birth, the applicant must provide:

    • Their full birth certificate issued by an Australian RBDM

    If the student’s full birth certificate shows that at least one of their parents was born in Australia, and that parent was born before 20 August 1986, this is sufficient evidence to prove the student’s Australian citizenship.

    If their parent was born in Australia on or after 20 August 1986, the parent’s full birth certificate issued by an Australian RBDM is still required.

    If the applicant cannot provide this they should apply for their own evidence of Australian citizenship by lodging Form 119 Application for evidence of Australian citizenship with certified copies of the required documents and the application fee with DIBP.

  • If applicants do not have an Australian passport, and where one (or both) of the applicant’s parents was a permanent resident of Australia at the time of their birth, they must provide both of the following documents to prove their Australian citizenship:

    • Their full birth certificate issued by an Australian RBDM
    • Their Australian citizenship certificate.

    They can apply for an Australian citizenship certificate by lodging Form 119 Application for evidence of Australian citizenship with certified copies of the required documents and the application fee with DIBP.


    The following documents are not acceptable as proof of a parent’s permanent residency for VET Student Loan applications:

    • parent's foreign passport with a visa label
    • Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) printout
    • visa grant notification letter
    • Certificate of Evidence of Resident Status (CERS)
    • Certificate of Status for New Zealand Citizens in Australia (CSNZCA)
    • ImmiCard
    • Freedom of Information (FOI) letter from the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

    These documents only provide proof of a person’s visa status on the day they are issued / printed and are not sufficient proof of a parent’s resident status at the time the applicant was born.

  • Applicants in these circumstances without a current Australian Passport must provide their Australian citizenship certificate. They can apply for evidence of Australian citizenship by lodging Form 119 Application for evidence of Australian citizenship with certified copies of the required documents and the application fee with Home Affairs.

  • Applicants will need to provide one of the following documents as evidence of their Australian citizenship:

    • An Australian passport
    • An Australian citizenship certificate
    • A Citizenship by Descent extract
    • An Adoption in accordance with the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption or bilateral arrangement extract

    If an applicant does not have one of the above citizenship documents they will need to apply for a replacement certificate by lodging Form 119 Application for evidence of Australian citizenship with certified copies of the required documents and the application fee with the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP).

  • Papua New Guinea became a sovereign nation on 16 Sep 1975 (PNG Independence Day). Assessing Australian citizenship status of people born in PNG prior to 16 Sep 1975 can be complex. Home Affairs is aware that in the past this cohort of people has been incorrectly issued with an Australian Passport based on an incorrect assessment of their citizenship status. As such, the citizenship status of some applicants born in PNG prior to 16 Sep 1975 must be checked and verified with Home Affairs.

    The applicant should be referred to Home Affairs to obtain evidence of Australian citizenship by lodging Form 119 Application for evidence of Australian citizenship if:

    • evidence of citizenship was issued before 1 Jan 2009 and the applicant was born in PNG prior to 16 Sep 1975; or
    • citizenship was acquired by descent before 1 Jan 2009 where the parent(s) was born in PNG before 16 Sep 1975.

    A citizenship certificate can be accepted as evidence that the applicant is an Australian citizen if the evidence of citizenship was issued on or after 1 Jan 2009 regardless of the acquisition date or date of birth.

  • Permanent Resident of Austtralia

    To prove your status as a Permanent Resident of Australia, please upload a Certificate of Evidence of Resident Status (CERS), Which confirms status as an Australian Permanent Resident. Or upload infromation to allow us to check your residency status using the Department of Immigration and Border Protection's Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) system.

  • Qualifying New Zealand Citizen

    Please upload proof of your New Zealand citizenship. An example would be your New Zealand Passport.

  • Permanent Humanitarian Visa Holders

    Please provide proof of your Humanitarian visa. This can be your relevant visa documentation, or your ImmiCard (where appropriate). We need to be able to verify your visa status with the Department of Immigration and Border Protection's Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) system.
