Marcrobi Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Hi all. Would anybody know if children can travel to Australia on a uk passport if they have Australian citizenship certificate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Australian citizens need Australian passports whether they are children or not. You’ve probably got time to get them given the shenanigans going on at the moment. However, that said, it is technically possible to enter with a foreign passport and citizenship certificate if the airline is prepared to do the work and talk to the right people in Immigration - if they can get hold of them in time for you to catch your plane, which isn’t always possible and you may miss your flight. The airline won’t let you on without verification from Canberra, they aren’t going to trust a citizenship certificate without provenance. The fact that the pax in question are children has nothing to do with it. Again, given the current parlous situation with flights, the last thing you want is a hassle at check in. If you can’t wait 3 weeks for a new passport, I believe you can apply for an emergency passport but you could talk to the HC about that.

paulhand Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Assuming you are in the UK, call the High Commission in London and explain your situation. They are generally pretty helpful on such matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
