Re: Need to renew my British passport

The post shop has forms to renew a British passport? Crazy! I would have thought they'd have the forms for NZ passports, but not any other country.

Thanks.

Re: Passport photos....

Good luck!

At least if you try it at home, she might be a bit more relaxed and might even stay still for a few moments.
