Hello,

I was rejected for my application due to a hyphen, even though I used the MRZ. I would love some advice or to hear if this has happened to anyone else:

My last name contains a hyphen, but when I filled in my information, I used the MRZ from my passport, which does not contain the hyphen.

I received the rejection today stating: 'Wrong personal info: missing "-" in the last name on the visa application.'

I am confused as I used the information from the MRZ and did not enter the hyphen in the form.

The hyphen only appears on my passport in the "name" section, but I read that you should always use the MRZ, which does not contain the hyphen.

I would really appreciate it if you could share your experience. I want to reapply, but all the posts I see state that you should use the MRZ, which I did, so confused about what to do and use. Thank you !

Hi folks,

I will be submitting my application later this week, but I had a question regarding one of the fields on the pasport info page.

In the field "place of issue" would I write exactly what is seen on my pasport "dia syd" or should I write the full name "department of Internal Affairs Sydney"?

Thanks for your help

Hi. I’ve just done my TDAC and it was easy and I got my confirmation and QR code straight away,

The only bit that gave me pause was the sub district ( in the address section) because that wasn’t on my accommodation address. So I looked it up on the map. Hope that helps.

So I found out why my application was cancelled automatically by the system.

I inputed all my info correctly, the last thing I did was upload my passport photo and it did its scan and auto filled.

Well I made a mistake by not seeing or miss clicked or something. My application passport expiry was inputed wrong by 1 month.

I am waiting to contact them via phone call. But has anyone else have this experience?

🙏❤️
