Hi there I am travelling overseas in June and just had a look at my passport and realised that a piece of the green stitch towards the back has come loose, do I need to replace my passport?
 
If it was me, I would. Not only might a country or two take exception but further stitching might give way before long.

Question here too ...

Departing Sydney in June 24 for Paris. Stay only 10 days.

Australian Passport expires in November 24 ( after 10 years ).

Will I need a new one BEFORE departure ?
 
Anyone applied for a new Aussie passport lately? Do you still submit a paper photo? Someone told me the Post Office needs to take the photo and submit digitally, as is the application.
 
Do you still submit a paper photo
For renewals:
Fill in online form
Print form
Auspost will take a digital photo, print it and submit for you
The digital photo can also be emailed to you for future use.

you can of course get your own photos done at say a chemist.

New or renewal?
