Warning rant initiating
Approach with care
This morning I headed off to swim. Did over an hour and came back home.
First trip into Cranbourne
Yesterday I got online to renew my passport
First thing it says.
You need two new photos
Great. So I go off line and this morning decided I’ll head back into Cranbourne with my passport and other ID and get it sorted
Get told nope you need to do it all online. Then print off paperwork and come back.
Second trip into Cranbourne
Off I head back home. Go to office and get online to fill in paperwork
Get son to fill in but they says emergency contact not likely to be travelling with you
And print.
Back into Cranbourne to get photos done
Hand in paperwork
And pay
And now we wait
Third trip into Cranbourne
If they had explained it all in the first place I would of done it in the correct order
Is it too soon to start drinking
With days like this it’s never too early. It must be 5 o’clock somewhere! 😄
ReplyDeleteI waited until dinner to have one lol
DeleteThe joy of bureaucracy!
ReplyDeleteIf they had explained it. I’d of been ok.
DeleteThat's a lot of work for a passport.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is supposed to be the easy way. Getting a new passport is even harder
DeleteWelcome to our world. Nothing is ever done the first time. There's always something they haven't explained properly and it's always your fault of course.
ReplyDeleteOf course. But it’s done now. So I’m good for another ten years lol
DeleteGrrrrrr. What happens to people who aren't 'online'? Surprisingly some still exist. Furthermore isn't online meant to be more efficient? (Eye roll and Growly face in here.) Here the photos are digital - when you go to the approved place to get them taken you just get given a reference number which you add to the form - and the passport office picks up the right photo (you hope) from a file at their end.
ReplyDeleteThey had a comment about how not having digital photos so they can’t be hacked and steal your identity. Like we don’t have pics of us all over the internet already. Seriously I think the lunatics are really running the asylum these days.
