The fees we charge are stipulated in Euros according to German laws and regulations, for example in the Passport Act or the special fee regulations of the Foreign Office (AABGebV). They will be converted into Australian Dollars (AUD) according to the Embassy's or the Consulate General’s exchange rate. The amount is rounded up or down to the nearest 0.50 AUD amount.
Please note the following:
Cash payments can only be accepted in Australian Dollars. If you pay by credit card at the Embassy in Canberra or the Consulate General in Sydney, the amount will be charged in Euro in Germany and additional bank charges may apply. Please ensure that the security measures of your bank do not prohibit credit card charges from abroad.
