Austria Passport Requirements

Many changes have occurred in what is required for passports from around the globe. More and more countries are now including biometric information stored on a chip that is embedded in the passport. Austria is no exception.
  1. Identification

    • You are required to submit a photo identification, which normally will include a driver's license or Austrian-issued personal identification card. Two fingerprints also will be taken at the passport facility. Three passport photos also must be submitted

    Proof of Citizenship

    • In addition, you must present an original certified copy of your birth certificate and a completed and signed affidavit, which will have your residence and other information used to determine Austrian citizenship.

    Other Documents

    • If you have a marriage certificate or a divorce decree, you are required to present certified copies of these documents.

    Minors

    • Children ages 0 to 12 years old must have parental consent to obtain a passport. If the child does not have a personal identification card, a parent's card may be substituted. Minors also must have a certified birth certificate.

    Cost and Processing
