You may be eligible for benefits based on an assessment of all factors, including your age, occupation, job limitations, prior pregnancy history, current medical condition, and your physicianâs/practitionerâs certification that you are unable to do your regular or customary work.
Passport processing takes up to 10 weeks during the busier times of year, notes the U.S. Department of State website. Renew your passport well in advance of your travel to ensure you receive it before your trip.
Whether you apply in Australia or overseas, you should allow approximately three weeks to get a new passport. If you need to travel urgently, you can request priority service (an additional fee is payable). This will ensure we issue your passport within two working days of receiving everything we need from you.
