Fingerprints

Some foreign governments require persons over the age of sixteen to provide a full set of fingerprints with their application to renew a passport. The fingerprints are required for the purpose of establishing identification and are not for visa or Australian criminal record checks.

Once an officer of the Queensland Police Service has sighted a letter of authority from the foreign government and is satisfied of the applicant's bone fides, the person is fingerprinted on the official forms supplied by the applicant. The form is completed by the police officer and officially stamped and returned to the applicant.
