I sent my passport up to Sydney to get extra pages put into it, in the middle of last year.
They called me and said the passport is slightly damaged on the photo page, so they will give me a new one at no cost - but with same expiry date as the original passport - 2009.
Even returned the NZ$30 as they weren't putting in the extra pages. ^
Pretty happy about that - the extra pages would have only lasted 2 years, but with the empty passport I might almost make it to 2009 if I don't get too many more visa's (why do they have to take up the whole page?)
