Applicant or their parent was born in Papua New Guinea prior to 16 Sep 1975

 

Papua New Guinea became a sovereign nation on 16 Sep 1975 (PNG Independence Day). Assessing Australian citizenship status
of people born in PNG prior to 16 Sep 1975 can be complex. DIBP is aware that in the past this cohort of people has been incorrectly issued with an Australian passport based on an incorrect assessment of their citizenship status. As such, the citizenship status of some applicants born in PNG prior to 16 Sep 1975 must be checked and verified with DIBP.

 

Applicants in this category will be referred to DIBP to obtain evidence of Australian citizenship by lodging Form 119 Application for evidence of Australian citizenship if:

 

• • evidence of citizenship was issued before 1Jan 2009 and the applicant was born in PNG prior to 16 Sep 1975; or

 

• • citizenship was acquired by descent before 1Jan 2009 where the parent(s) was born in PNG before 16 Sep 1975

 

A citizenship certificate can be accepted as evidence that the applicant is an Australian citizen if the evidence of citizenship was issued on or after 1 Jan 2009 regardless of the acquisition date or date of birth.
