Passport due for expiry
I have just applied for PR and the thought has occured to me that by the time a grant is received (fingers crossed) in say 1years time my passport will have expired (due for renewal in spring).
Will I need to inform DIMIA of my new passport number as the original number supplied in the application would have expired or would DIMIA just treat it as a renewel and cross reference names etc.
regards
Julian

If you have your visa label placed on your expiring passport, you will need to carry both passports with you when entering/exiting Australia.

If you're British and resident in the UK, why not get a new passport
now? It's a lot easier and cheaper to renew your passport in the UK,
and you'll then avoid the hassle of having your visa in an old
passport.

If you get a new passport before visa grant, just send them a
certified copy of the new identity page. You can use form 1022 as
well.

provided you are *allowed* to keep both pasports (old and new) which is
subject to national law. around here (bulgaria) you are not - the old
one is being destroyed.
