On a recent trip I lost my #AUStriches passport.
- $260 dollarydoos for the embassy to issue an emergency passport
- $8 dollarydoos for passport pics overseas
- $412 dollarydoos for new passport
- $300 dollarydoos for priority processing
- $22 dollarydoos for additional passport photos
In total $1,002 dollarydoos (US$630) to get a new passport.
Why the Embassy can issue an emergency passport and not just directly replace it is beyond me.
The passport photos I had taken overseas to get the Emergency passport were disallowed by AusPost (who the Gov have outsourced all applications to) despite meeting the criteria and being a week old - no the photos have to be taken in Australia..
That last bit pushed it to over a grand, to get a shitcoin passport replaced..
