Re: Renewal of UK Passports in OZ.
Hi,
My 18 year old son needs to renew his passport.
Previous passport is a childs 5 year passport.
Now will need to renew to an adults passport.
Am I right in saying as he is sending his recently expired childs passport he only needs to send signed photos and the form.
He was born in UK and parents both from UK.
Forms a bit confusing,but when I checked on the UK website it gives the impression its just photos needed and the old passport
I dont think we need to send birth certificates?
Any input appreciated so we can get it sent off.

You're right in your understanding, well at least, that's what we did for our sons renewal - but his wasn't for an adult version but can't see it would be any different?
Good luck!

Re: Renewal of UK Passports in OZ.
Current timeline for UK passports via NZ - mine is back today, sent the stuff off on Feb 24th, so thats pretty quick.
All orginal docs returned with it (Had to send birth cert etc for a name change), came back Express Signed-for delivery.
Same photo in it as for my Aus one, both taken at the same time by Aus Post.

Just to confirm what Pollyanna said, it is free to put the stickers in. A friend asked me to ask if she could travel with the old passport with the stickers in along with her new one, I was told that you have to have new stickers put in the new one. It was so simple, I was only in there for 10 minutes!

Re: Renewal of UK Passports in OZ.
Can you send your renewal back to the UK to have renewed? have them returned to a family member back in the UK who can send them back to us? Reason i'm asking as it seems sooooo much cheaper to do it that way than send to from here. $286 or £77 for adult renewal and $186 or £49 for childrens renewal. Thanks in advance

Re: Urgent Passport question.
Can we send our passports back to the UK for renewal instead of going thru Aus post? Caould we get them sent to a family member in the UK who can send them on to us? reason I am asking is we are in no rush to renew them (not planning on going anywhere soon) its $286 to renew an adults instead of £77 if renewed in the UK and £49 for childs instead of $186! Considering we have 1 adult and 3 childrens to renew its a hell of a lot cheaper if we can send them straight to the UK and pay the £'s... Thanks in advance

You would need to fill in the forms with a UK address - if you put an Aus one they'll tell you to do it here. Also someone else will have to get the forms and send them to you, when I last looked at their site it had all this stuff about how you can't print the forms off yourself, you can either get them from a Post Office, or get the Passport Office to send them to you (at a UK address).
