    Hi,
    Just wondering how long the appointment takes for the public service card? Have an appointment to get one tomorrow at 14:15 and another appointment at 14:30 so wondering if I'll be cutting it too tight.

    TIA

    They may also offer to pair your mobile phone, which enables you to access more on the "MyGov" website.

    It's a useful facility to have if you like handling your personal / governemnt stuff online.

    Where is the second appointment?

    I worked on these cards before moving department.

    They say it takes about 15-20 minutes which is accurate enough.

    I have done them in 8 minutes but that is with super organised customers who walk in and say here's my PPSN, utility bill, passport & birth cert. No messing about.

    Don't forget the the customer in front of you could be a nightmare that takes 30-40 minutes!! It's happened to me on a number of occasions.
