Called in to my local PO, can't just renew so I have to apply for a new one. Can't accept the marriage certificate anymore as it is a church issued one. I had to apply to Births, Deaths and Marriages for a new marriage certificate, you can no longer go in person to get one, only apply online. Applied online for marriage certificate, no biggie as no planned overseas travel this year. And then Qantas offers up some award flights. Jumped on some tickers for mid November, oh dear now the passport stress. Haven't received the marriage certificate yet 10 days after applying, so now once received, do I trust the standard passport application or pay extra for express processing?
