What is Form 1300t?

Form 1300t, Application for Australian Citizenship - General Eligibility, is used by permanent residents and eligible New Zealand citizens who want to become Australian citizens through conferral. It collects your identity and residence history, details of your time in Australia, character information, and the declarations the Department relies on to assess whether you meet the general eligibility criteria.

The form is a standard fillable PDF, so you can complete every field here in your browser and download the finished file. Applicants who meet the criteria normally sit the citizenship test and attend a citizenship ceremony as part of the process. A citizenship application fee usually applies, so check the current fee at the Home Affairs website before you lodge.

Who files Form 1300t?

Permanent residents applying for Australian citizenship under general eligibility
Eligible New Zealand citizens who meet the residence requirement
Applicants who have satisfied the required period of lawful residence in Australia
People preparing to sit the Australian citizenship test as part of conferral

How to fill out Form 1300t

Enter your personal details, including your name, date of birth, and current residential address.
Provide your residence history and time spent in and out of Australia during the eligibility period.
Answer the character, identity, and good character questions honestly and in full.
Read the declarations, then sign and date the application.
Lodge the completed form with the Department of Home Affairs together with the required supporting documents and fee.

Worth knowing: Meeting general eligibility does not guarantee approval. Confirm the current residence requirement, fee, and citizenship test rules at the Home Affairs website before lodging.
