    I renewed my passport recently at the post office, my previous one expired in 2014 so the photo was 19 years ago. I had also changed my name and the new passport was delivered in 10 days.

    Do they still ask you where your parents were born, even for a renewal?

    No, only for first application.

    Thank you. Presumably they don't need much info at all then for a renewal.

    Correct, they have your complete records from your previous passport that you will send in as instructed.

    Thank you. You can't see the questions online without starting the process and I didn't want to start and then find half way through that they asked something that I didn't know or couldn't remember the answer to.
