Applying for Australian citizenship is a major step, and the first requirement is submitting the correct application form. The Application for Australian citizenship – Other situations (Form 1290) is the official PDF provided by the Department of Home Affairs. With Formize you can open the PDF directly in your browser, fill every field, and save a completed copy without printing.
Form 1290 is used when you apply under special circumstances such as:
The form is a fillable PDF, meaning each field can be typed into, checked, or selected directly on the screen.
Instead of downloading the PDF and opening a separate editor, simply click the "Fill out this form" button on this page. The Formize PDF Filler will load in seconds, letting you complete the application online.
Make sure you have the following documents handy before you start:
Each section of the form is clearly labelled. Fill in personal details, residency history, and the reason for your special application. Use block letters as required.
Once you have completed the form, you can either download it for printing and mailing to the Department of Home Affairs or submit it electronically if the department accepts digital submissions.
If the Department of Home Affairs requires a paper copy, print the completed PDF using black or blue ink. Otherwise, you can submit the digital file directly if electronic submission is accepted.
Yes. The Formize PDF Filler lets you save the partially completed form to your device or cloud storage, then reopen it later to finish.
You’ll need proof of identity, residence history, any previous citizenship or visa details, and supporting evidence for the special situation you’re applying under.
Formize’s basic PDF filling feature is free. Any government filing fees are paid directly to the Department of Home Affairs, not through Formize.
After mailing the printed form, you’ll receive a receipt from the Department. If you submit electronically, you’ll get a confirmation email with a reference number.
Yes, as long as the PDF is not locked. Open the downloaded file again in Formize to make any needed changes before final submission.
With the traditional set of features for viewing and filling out a PDF document, combined with the benefits of a web application and responsive layout, you can complete Australian citizenship application form in minutes.
