When you need an emergency travel document, the rules are changing. You will not get one if you were refused a passport under section 27GA, or if your passport or emergency travel document was cancelled under that section. The new rule replaces the old one in section 23(3)(a).

You need to know what section 27GA says to understand this change. This section is about when a passport can be refused or cancelled. It affects whether you can get an emergency travel document.
