Sorry I wanted to know about the British Passport. The application doesn't have a location to specify a delivery address in case you are not able to get stuff delivered to your current address.CR001 wrote:What have you applied for? Naturalisation or British Passport?
Thank you very much. I haven't applied yet. I was filling the application form and saw the secure deliver option. So if I don't use it then they would just put it in my post box?CR001 wrote:My passport and most peoples are just put through the post box, I didn't have to sign for it.
If you have not had your interview yet, you can ask the question then.

I think it's secure because each and everyone has a locked mailbox. I'll give them a ring anyway before the interview and see what my options are.Jambo wrote:Sometimes you need to sign. Sometimes they just slip it in. Depends if the delivery man feels the letter box/house to be secure.
You have the option of asking them to deliver to a different address. The information booklet ( from post office passport application pack) says you should give reasons why you need your passportnavodwickra wrote:I think it's secure because each and everyone has a locked mailbox.

Thanks for that, I have added a piece of paper explaining why I would need it to be delivered to a different address. The lady who checked my application at the PO stamped that paper and attached it with a paper clip.jamesjames wrote:You have the option of asking them to deliver to a different address.
