Jay s Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 We relocated back to UK in July this year and now we want to return to Australia ( for obvious reasons!) England isn't the same and we find it depressing to see good hardworking people struggling . My son has an expired Australian child passport but not an Adult Australian passport.( He has a certificate of citizenship) and will be travelling on his British passport. Will we encounter any problems at the airports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saves any issues and he’s then got a ten year passport to use ongoing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day as an Australian citizen he can’t be denied entry to Australia, but you will have to convince the airline to take him on an undocumented uplift. Better to sort out the passport. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay s Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 We have filled in the passport application form online and booked his appointment with Australia house for next week but the cost to get to London is extortionate , just thought forget it and apply once back in Aus. Going to have to suck it up and go to London to save hassle at customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither you nor your son will have the opportunity to visit London for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Kent Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Since your son has a citizenship certificate, he should be good to go for travelling because he can't be denied entry in his own country. Just make sure to bring along his expired Australian child passport and certificate of citizenship. It's always a good idea to reach out to the Australian embassy or consulate in the UK to double-check everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no obligation to fly undocumented passengers. They also seem to be tightening up on this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
