When I had mine renewed several years ago they didn’t let me get a new photos. Did everything else and paid for the fees and that’s it. Also I don’t think the place takes cash anymore so if you’re the type to pay things in cash, just a heads up
Hmm... I hope they at least let me change mine, because 17 year old me had half their hair cut off, 27 year old me has an undercut (though it's been growing out, I need a haircut). Also I've been pretty cashless since I got a debit card.
Yeah all the lady said to me was you won’t be getting a new photo, we’ll use the one that’s on file (back previously, which is funny because learners card last for I think 10 years) I don’t look too different but yeah horrible photo. Bleh. Maybe it’s changed since then or the decision is decided by the person you see and they make on the spot decisions. Only you’ll be able to update us after you get yours done. Good luck. The longest part is waiting for your number to be call. So if you can get there just as it’s opened, that’ll probably be the quickest
Yeah looks like I'll have to do that. At least work is within the same suburb, I'll just have to walk to work instead of getting an uber... which will save me money however walking sounds like hell. But yeah will update! Just inputting my info with the print out, and I can change my gender... I hope they take my paper then.
🤞 best of luck!
