Quinkla Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Not sure this thread will be very useful. Passports are delivered within two weeks unless you pay extra and then they are delivered more quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to get ASAP since i already booked tickets in December first week and my ceremony in Nov Third week. Happy to pay more to get passport quicker than paying huge amount to travel agent to change dates specially in December. please anybody advise. thanks in advance.

VARANASI1 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hey Melbourneguy, i have confirmed that you can apply for aussie passport thru australia post. you gotta bring your citizenship certificate with you at the post office with some form of id as well. like your driver licence/medicare/your old passport etc. The post office will take a snap shot of ya and you will also have to complete a form for that purpose. Thats it. pay the fees and get the passport asap. I think it is 105 dollars extra you pay and get passport within two days or something. but check with oz post as well !!

melbourneguy Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 I went to local post office today and got a passport application for free. took passport photos as well for $16.95 (6 photos). called passport office to try my luck to book an appointment but failed. They suggested to apply in post office with express post and pay priority processing fee $108. then I can collect from passport office within two days hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
