If you have been granted a visa at another overseas mission or from an Australian processing centre (Adelaide, Perth, Hobart) and are presently in the United States, our office is able to print, or “evidence”, your visa. You may request this service in the following ways: 

► By Mail

Please include the following items with your request:

• You original passport(s) along with a self-address/stamped Express Mail envelope from the US Postal Service or an overnight delivery service.

NOTE: if you do not provide return postage, we will return your documents by regular US mail and are not responsible for tracking or timeliness of return.

• A Cover letter with your return address and contact details (email address, phone number). Please indicate if you have an imminent departure date.

• Your grant letter - if available.  You may submit a photocopy.

Our office will evidence visas granted at other posts within 24 hours of the time they are received in our office. You should allow 3-5 business days to account for postage transit time.

► In person

You may come to our client counter and usually obtain your visa label that same day.  Please refer to our Public Hours and Holiday Schedule.

Please ensure that each person included in your application has their own passport, and that all passports are current with at last two unused visa pages available in each passport. 

There is no fee for this service.

If you have any questions, you may contact the Information Service for Australian Visas.
