Re: Quick passport question

My passport was issued in Sydney in August 2000 and this is what is stated on the photo page. It is interesting to know that this has been removed for the most recently issued passports.

Quick passport question

it is currently taking 4 weeks to process passports. You do NOT need to pay for expedited service. Several people n answere said YESTERDAY, that they got their passport in only 3 weeks, without paying the expedited fee. You have over 10 weeks before you need yours. If you are FLYING to Canada, you must have a passport. If you are traveling by LAND, you do NOT need a passport, tho it is good to go ahead and get it.

No different here. I assume mine was produced in Brisbane though.

Re: Quick passport question

A number of destinations require you to state place of issue of passport. It's pretty common in Asian ports.

And with my new passport having used about 20 pages in the last almost 2 years i have always put AUS or AUSTRALIA and never been questioned.
What i think they try to tell was the passport issued in the country instead of say an emergency passport issues by an embassy overseas.

Re: Quick passport question

Everywhere I went through Asia (Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Singapore, Philipines and Hong Kong) I always put down "Australia" when asked for place of issue and it was never questioned.
