There is no requirement that children have their own pbuttport as long as the issuing Country still allows it ie - the question is whether it is a valid travel document or not. DIMIA will only evidence the visa in one parent's pbuttport so that child always has to travel to Australia with that particular parent unless they go in and get it cancelled from one and put in the other. So things are a lot easier all round if everyone had separate pbuttports however it is you who has to pay to achieve this. Some standard letters from DIMIA during the process will make it out to be a legal requirement to get separate pbuttports but this is bluff from DIMIA. When it comes to the crunch, DIMIA-ASPC must, by law, grant the visa when you are enbreastled to be granted them - regardless of whether you have separtate pbuttports and even regardless of whether you have a legal travel document or even any travel document. Their computer system, However, does prefer a pbuttport number as it likes to link the travel document to the visa grant and is one of the security measures of the visa when it is evidenced.
London when evidencing, just look for a valid travel document, does not matter how many children are on the pbuttport, as long as it is a valid document.

QUOTE=Rk1dayboyWondering if somebody can help. My children are listed on my pbuttport. Do they need to have their own pbuttports or is it ok to submit application to DIMIA with the children on my pbuttport. Also one other question. I have read threads about numbering of completed application to DIMIA. I have not seen anywhere on the info about numbering pages on application. Should this be done.
