Hi - are you sure you need to send birth certificate? We have just sent an application for renewal for our daughter and all we sent was the application form, fee sheet & fee, 2 photos and the old passport.
We have been here 2 years so can't help you with the photo endorsement question.

Hi
Same with us as Brasso. We hadn't been here when my daughter's passport came up for renewal. We had it signed by the Principal at the school and it was accepted no problem. I think it's something they are used to at the passport office. As long as it is signed by someone official then they accept it.

It's free to transfer a visa stamp from one passport to another (unless it's a Resident Return Visa).
The AHC London won't do this - barring extreme circumstances - but it's normally straightforward at a DIMA office in Australia.

Re: Help renewing Child UK passport in Oz
I had the same problem and ended up sending the photos and form back for my mate to sign in the Uk. You definitely need to do this.
The price is crazy too over a $100 for each child's passport when we already paid for the full 5 yrs in the UK!

Be aware that the AHC London don't normally restamp visas, so if you have visa in an old passport then leave plenty of time for check-in as some airline staff may refuse to allow you to check-in until they have got clearance from DIMA in Australia.
Also be aware that some countries en-route to Australia refuse to accept passports with less than 6 months validity.
