Citizenship

Becoming a citizen by conferral is a common way to become an Australian citizen. You need to be a permanent resident and meet certain criteria before you can apply.

 You could be eligible for Australian citizenship by descent if you were born outside Australia and one (or both) of your parents at the time of your birth was also an Australian citizen at that time. 

 An Australian citizenship certificate is an official document. It shows that a person is an Australian. You can get a certificate if you meet our requirements. We can reissue a certificate that is incorrect.
