Passport renewal for children
I plan to fly to UK next year and still have 5 years left on my British Passport.
However my 2 childrens British passports have expired as they only last 5 years. I intend purchasing Australian Passports for them now and when mine expires getting one also.
My problem is;
when we land in UK or back home here in Melbourne and I have a UK one and they have an Oz one do we need to go through different gates?
Don't really want to purchase an Oz one yet ($200) when I have a perfectly good British One still.
Thanks

If you are an Australian citizen then you must enter and leave Australia on an Australian passport.

Re: Passport renewal for children
Oh I didn't realise that! Maybe that should be one of the questions they ask you when you apply for Citizenship!
Thank you for that,
