Verification of documents – AU$80.00
Once an application for a pasport, has been processed by the Embassy, individual applicants are expected to send their application forms to a representative in Zimbabwe who will submit and collect the application at an office of the Regstrar of Passports. To empower the representative to collect the passport, which is a security document, the applicant is required to write a letter to the Registrar-General authorising the representative to collect the passport on their behalf. The letter of authorisation should state the full names and national identity number of the representative.
