post office passport check and send (waste of time)

[arknor]

Your first passport at 31 years old?

Wow.

first british one
ive got a norwegian passport thats expired and i figured its probably easier to get an english one seeing as i was born here

 

[Yaayuh!]

I filled mine out online and got it sent to me and then signed and sent back wit hthe documents :/ wouldn't bother with the post office..

I have to go to Peterborough tomorrow for an emergency replacement appointment. Got back from a business trip in the Netherlands at the weekend and washed it in my jeans pocket.

Problem is I'm supposed to be flying again on April 9th as a treat for the wife's 30th. D'OH!

Queue some panicking... should hopefully be OK though.

Litrally just sent mine today with check and send. Tried to tell me it wont be accepted cos it was countersigned a few weeks ago. Had them send it though.

People mentioned here about having to attend passport interviews. Is this a new thing? Haven't had such interview myself and I'm on my 2nd or 3rd passport now.

yea for first time adult applications, eventually they plan to grab people who have never had an interview before when they get a renewal
