Travel Documents Application Fees

Acceptable methods of payment for passport applications and notarial services

All fees are charged in either Australian Dollars (AUD) or Argentine pesos (ARS). Fees are payable by credit or debit card. Cash and cheque payment are not accepted.

Fees in ARS may vary on a monthly basis, depending upon exchange rates. Debit card payments in ARS can only be accepted in person at the Australian Embassy Buenos Aires (the Embassy) and cannot be processed via a manual transaction.

Another person may make payment on your behalf. Should your payment nominee not be present at the time of your interview, the Embassy may accept their credit card payment if the Credit/Debit Card Authorisation Form is completed and signed by the credit card holder appropriately.
