best place to get an ASIC

I have herd that you can get a ASIC through a few different outfits other than CASA and I am wondering who's the fastest and most Hassel free. It's initial issue and I'm in perth if that makes a difference? I have an avid that took CASA two months to process so don't really want a repeat of that. Any help would be much appreciated

Slam- I don't have an airport as such. I start work on a station in SA early December and have to take the plane to Port Lincoln for 100 hourly's which I gather legally I need an ASIC for, practically might be a different story. But think I may aswell bite the bullet and do it now
Catus- I like your style

I use Aviation ID in Merimbula and have found them professional to deal with and are relatively quick.
That being said you must give them all the documents requested and suitably annotated by a JP as required and the process should only take a couple of weeks. It is generally as long as the police check on you takes.

Hold on... Do you have to go through the trouble of getting all the documents even for an ASIC renewal?!!

The renewal is pretty much the same as the initial issue.

Maybe worse, because they have tightened the checks over the years.

Apart from RA-Aus, Qantas, Virgin and CASA (Merimbula), who else actually issues them for the private pilot or CPL?

There is also this outfit in Geraldton.
There are some changes in the wind wrt ID docs. Whether it will be less or more painful than the current requirements remains to be seen.

I'm with YJPT. The geraldton group has been great through several renewals and moves. Always on the phone if there is a problem, online payments and website make it easy. Very happy everytime

Yeah I went with Security ID for mine. It arrived very quickly and process was easy, mind you they sent one with the wrong photo of some other dude who apparently had an incredibly similar name to mine who was also applying for one at the same time. You can imagine my face when I opened the letter and saw some other guys picture with my name!

"Oh how I've aged!"

... I called and they quickly sent out a new one with correct picture with return parcel to send incorrect card back.

Coles, Myers, or K-mart might have them in stock. You can try Aldi's too but theirs might be an in-house brand.

Jokes aside, Aviation ID is a pretty decent outfit.

Wow! A private-sector business model based entirely on outsourcing bureaucracy! No wonder Australia's economy is booming!

I just renewed my ASIC, having had one since they were first introduced, so that's about 4-5 renewals. What really pi$$es me off is the requirement to re-identify myself every two years. I can understand the need for the photo to be current, but if they've previously checked me out, then they have more than enough on file to validate who I am.

But then that would make it too easy, and they would need half the people to do the same job. OK, for an initial issue they need to know everything, but why keep making us revalidate the same stuff for a renewal?

A very valid question Pinkus. The reason is probably because the regulations require ALL records of your application to be destroyed once the card has expired. Privacy legislation etc. Also your ID documents only go as far as the issuing body to which you make the application. So regardless of whether you apply to the same issuing body or a different one. Each time they have to establish your ID using valid (read in date) documentation such as passport , drivers licence etc, All of which have an expiry date.
