😤 The Reality Check
We've all seen the news: 5:00 AM lines at Constant Spring Road. Folding chairs. Umbrellas. Frustration.
You don't have to live that life anymore.
This guide strips away the jargon. Here is how to sort out your documents from your sofa.
🚦 Which Line Are You In?
Before you start, check your status. Not everyone can use the online portal.
GO ONLINE
Standard Adult Renewal
You have the old passport, it was issued after Sept 2001, and your name hasn't changed.
GO IN-PERSON
Name Change / Marriage
Using a new married name? Don't try this online. The system typically requires manual verification of your Deed Poll or Marriage Certificate. Save yourself the headache and book an appointment.
GO IN-PERSON
Lost / Stolen / First Time
If the dog ate it or it was stolen, you need a
Police Report first.
🚀 The Digital Upgrade
PICA has modernized. Here is how you save your sanity:
🌙
Open 24/7
Upload your photo at midnight. The
website never closes.
📅
Appointments Only
Even for "Red Light" cases, you
book online first. No more camping out.
🚚
Doorstep Delivery
Don't drive to town. Use the DHL option to get it delivered to your yard.
📸 The Photo Protocol
This is where 90% of people fail. PICA's robot is ruthless. Do not guess.
💡 The "Studio Strategy"
- Don't take a selfie. Go to a pro studio.
- Ask them to email you the JPEG file.
- Test it on the PICA tool before you leave the studio.
