Lucharmily Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hi, I recently applied for 2 UK passport renewals from Australia and wanted to share my timeframe for others who may be in this situation. Today both new passports were delivered to my door (in Darwin) by DHL. This was just 2 weeks and 6 days after my renewal was received in Liverpool, UK!! Wow!

MARYROSE02 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Didn't the UK Passport Office have some problems earlier in the year? My nephew applied for a UK passport (born in Australia) and he had to wait for a few weeks. I should probably think about renewing my Pommie passport but I've been content to just have my Aussie one.

Parley Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I had my photos taken in the Australia Post post office. They know the requirements for passports and can take the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slean Wolfhead Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 There's a note on the UK website that Australian passport photo's are not compatible, so can you choose the UK size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Well when I did mine, I lodged it with Aus Post. I would be confident Aus Post would know what to do and adjust as necessary. Just go in and ask them but they did it all for me but that was in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
