As from 1 September 2015, the Australian government will no longer issue any visa labels. All visa will be issued and recorded electronically. All visa records are stored on a central database in Australia which enables online checking of visa details by visa holders, registered Australian organisations and airline staff.

 

Your passport and visa are linked. Access to this information is available to you, Australian organisations and airline staff. If you want assistance checking these details, please contact us.

 

If you get a new passport after your visa is granted, you must notify the department to ensure new passport details are up-to-date, and to ensure that you reduce delays at international airports.
