Schedule of Fees
15 MINUTE READ

American Citizen Services fees worldwide are established in U.S. dollars.

The U.S. Embassy in Canberra determines an exchange rate for payments made in Australian dollars. Payments must be in the exact amount and you must not use any other exchange rate other than what is listed below.

Our internal exchange rate changes about 3-4 times per year, with little notice. Applicants should purchase their bank check or money order in AUD in accordance with the exchange rate published on our website after checking the information below. If a change to the exchange rate is anticipated, it will be announced on this page.

Effective January 4, 2023, the Consular exchange rate is set at USD$1.00 – AUD$1.60.

  • Payments in U.S. dollars must be in the exact amount – change cannot be given.
  • For payments made in Australian dollars, change is available.
  •  Cash payments should not be sent via mail.

  • Payments must be in Australian currency, and must be payable to the “U.S. Consulate General” or “Department of State“. Under no circumstances are other payees accepted.
  • We cannot accept personal checks, incorrect or multiple checks/money orders as payment, even if you have overpaid.
  • If an applicant writes on the face of the money order/bank check, our cashier is unable to process it as valid payment. Please do not write anything on the face of the money order/bank check.

  • Visa, MasterCard, American Express, including Visa Debit and MasterCard Debit, are accepted.
  • Payment by EFTPOS-only cards (i.e. debit cards not linked to Visa or MasterCard) is not available.
  • Credit card payments can only be processed in person, and the physical card must be presented. We are unable to accept credit card details supplied via mail or by phone.
  • Mobile phones are not permitted in the Consulate, so we cannot process payments through digital wallets like ApplePay, Google Pay, or PayPal.
  • Ensure you are the named card holder and that your credit card is signed  before coming to your appointment.
  • All credit card transactions are processed in U.S. dollars. The actual amount charged to your credit card will reflect your bank’s exchange rate and, possibly, a transaction fee.
