I have just submitted application to renew ASIC, and also coincidentally renewed my Passport.
Passport renewal easy. No certified photographs or ID Documents. Just application and 2 recent photo's (no endorsement on photo's neeed.
Contrast with ASIC. Certified copies of licence (multi page part 61, each page certified by JP), certified copy of passport, and certified(JP) copy of drivers licence.
Cannot understand. If Passport Office can do it so easily, why can't ASIC be renewed with same ease?
And Passport lasts 10 years, ASIC 2 years.
About 4 times the cost per year for ASIC.
