Faster ASIC turnaround

[BirdDog]

Hello All,

I thought I would share my recent experience in renewing my ASIC.

 

I got the email that it was coming up, and actioned it straight away.  I chose the post office option, so went down that day to the Post Office to get it processed.  Wed 1 April.

 

7 Days later I received an email to say it was approved. Wed 8 April

 

The following week I had the card in my hand.  

 

The only gripe I have is my existing card, that I have no sent back, expired in May.  This new card expires in April.  So being quick to renew, actually means I have lost a month, so I should have waited until 1 May to renew.  But I had heard the horror stories and didn't want to risk being without one.

PS - This was through Veritas.

 

Cheers

J

If you want to play, send a letter requesting re issue for you expiry of current issue or provide a 1/24th refund.  Otherwise ask fair trading what they think of this blatant ripoff.

 

I had similar, thought I'd be smart and renew mine a month late as didn't need it, pin on renewal was good for one or two months after due date. I sent my late bit of info to allow processing 2 days into month.  When I got it it was the month before.  Just a bunch of cunning so and so's.  As I was late did not do above and was a month overdue when I renewed, just stretching it out.  Cheers and best regards mate.

I have sent an email asking for a please explain.

Let's see what comes of it.

UPDATE. 

Had a response re losing a month, and was basically told, it is all from the month it gets processed.  They alert 60 days from expiry, so if you act early, you will lose a month!  LOL!

How can you be required to PAY for something you don't GET?  Nev

Not just on the fee matter.

Also you re purchasing a non product ie has no security benefit to you or the country.

 

Ripped off twice by the Government - Thats Australia's version of a democratic process.😈

My handgun security check took 12 months, extremely thorough. I should be able to show them that and get my card but they don't recognise other security checks . I guess they need their $300 fee .

And just for a laugh; CASA do not recognise the ASIC as valid ID either 🙂

It's of NO assistance when getting or renewing a Passport either, It's TIME its form and purpose was reassessed . Nev

The ASIC has been a great success, since introduction there have been no terrorist incidents in Australia involving aircraft or access to airfields 🤣

[facthunter]

I don't think that is correct. I doubt it is that effective at all.  Security Has to Be effective. Todays world (unfortunately) REQUIRES it.   Nev

Didn't stop the 17yo with a shotgun at Avalon

I should have made it more clear I was being sarcastic 🙄
