And even then I got lucky, because my surname on the form didn't have a hyphen, where as the surname on my Drivers License did.

/rant I know your pain, but in regards to the bold, they won't. They have to be a dick about it because of just how tight the restrictions are for passports. Believe it or not, if they'd sent off your form, as it was, it'd have come back because of the distance between your chin and crown is too long or whatever. I'm not even kidding. Had this happen to me, went to Australia post, paid to get my photos taken, got my form to fill out, completed it carefully (as my g/f had trouble the week before) went back for my appointment at the same Australia post, gave them my form, "nope not filled out correctly come back later", was like "ok fair enough" went back for another appointment, "no no no no, its still wrong, you cannot put the dash through the 7" cause thats how I write my 7's, it was how I was taught, so went back again! Form was all good, and then get my photos out and they tell me my photos are wrong, I was furious, it was the same person who took the photos a few weeks earlier, who also got out their little thing to test to make sure its perfect for the passport, he told me I'd have to pay for new ones, so I swore at him and left, went to annother Australia post, they said the form was fine the photos were wrong, as they were checking my forms I was telling them the story of my previous experience and she took my photos for free. To this day I will not go to my local australia post. stupid jerk

I know! Such a ridiculous price The thing that gives me the shits is the parental thing. If they have my Birth Cert, can't they just look up the people on it themselves? I mean, do we seriously live in a country where the capital city's birth records aren't available to the federal departments situated within it?

Or because a bit of a pen mark went outside the white square? Ridiculous. I can kind of pay the photo thing, but it was less than a cm, seriously.

I had to go in 7 different times to get it done. And even then I got lucky, because my surname on the form didn't have a hyphen, where as the surname on my Drivers License did. I've got two middle names "David Benjamin" (for atheists, my parents went overboard wiht the fuckign biblical names). When I got mine done I only had David on the form, my bank statement has Benjamin on it, while my Learners Permit has "Joshua D." So I had to go and find my fucking birth certificate and go back. They also cracked the shits because my signature touched the edge of the box. Not went over, touched. Quote:WGMG: Passports. $250 for a passport? Having to prove my parents were born here? Are you kidding me? WHAT?! It used to only be $50! And my father wasn't fucking born here! :lol: Neither was I :\ How the fuck do I have an australian passport? :lol:

You want them to get it right anyway, becuase you don't want to be the guy stuck in customs in a country not allowed in because of your passport being 'not quite right'.

I put them in there by accident a couple of days prior. Funny how the people at Perth airport didn't notice anything:lol:
