All Topics / Help Needed! / Need A Passport
Hi There,
Can anybody tell me how long it takes to get a passport and where to apply?
Cheers.
I believe you usually apply at the post office.
I think it takes about 3 weeks.[cap]
You need the proper proof of id etc including a full birth certificate a passport photo (and they are very strict about how the photo should be). You can pick up a passport application and work your way through it. You need to have EXACTLY what they say including if your a married woman with a different name to your birth certificate a full marriage certificate. This doesn’t mean the one you received when you got married – you actually have to apply for a marriage certificate as well.
When you have all your documentation in place it only takes about three weeks.
Hope this helps

You can get it done in 2 days if you are prepared to pay a little extra.

I have just received mine about 2 weeks after putting in the application.
1. Filled in the form online at
http://www.passports.gov.au2. Got some passport photos done
3. Went to the Post office for the interview and pay the money $153
You can pay an extra $65 to get it in 2 working days4. Tracked the progress of the application online
5. Postman delivered it Registered Post
Very easy. The hard part is gathering all the required docs that Lee mentioned above.
