Emma260 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi Guys, I recently got married back in October 2019, and I'm going to Europe on my honeymoon. I'm looking in to renewing my passport with my new name and there are some questions I want to ask if people have done the same thing. So the picture I took on my iPhone came up as fair on the passport application, is that ok or do I need a better one? Also the website told me I have to send the original copy of my marriage certificate, I'm unsure of this because I am sending it all the way to England just makes me nervous applying for things such as a passport. If anyone has done the same or been through something similar can you please let me know. Much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sent them my husband's birth certificate ( by registered air mail), it was returned very quickly, and his new passport arrived in just six working days. As for the photo, not worth risking if there is any doubt, it will be refused. Go to Officeworks, they take your photo and give you a print out stating that it meets the correct size, definition etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I did the I phone photo for my hubbies passport. Can’t recall what it said when I uploaded, the first one was too dark though. If you are unsure just do another. Send the certificate registered post just in case though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlast Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Someone took my passport photo on my iPhone. I just took the photo against a white wall and with lots of natural light. They accepted it with no dramas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
