Australian Passport - how long does it take?
How long do you have to wait between filling out the forms and getting the passports?

10 days: forms lodged in Singapore and passport collected from there too.

because of reflections on the lenses of my glasses !, so had to resubmit.
The passports are now electronic. I think the photo is on the chip, so they are very
picky about getting photos that are 100% compliant with their requirements.
You can track your application online:

I'll be using my new Aussie passport this Saturday for a trip to NZ.
