Child Passport
Which parent has to go to the interview in London? The Australian one or does it not matter? Also, is there anywhere I can get her photo taken as the photo booths apparently aren't the right size.

Re: Child Passport
The Australian parent goes (obviously the other one can as well) and yes it does matter. We went to a kodak shop (from memory). Print off the legal dimensions required from the AHC website and they will be able to do the photo so that AHC are kept happy.

I took my step-sons application in when we were in London and there wasn't a problem.

Re: Child Passport
just found this on FAQ's on embassy website
Q20 - My husband/wife is not an Australian citizen; can he/she lodge our child’s passport application?
Either of the consenting parties can lodge the passport application as there is no requirement for the lodging party to be an Australian citizen. (The lodging parent doesn't need to be the Australian parent.)
That's cool then.

Re: Child Passport
I assumed my husband would have to do it. We will probably both go up, but if we can't it is easier for me to do it so glad it can be either of us really.
