Applying for Passport

Post by makoon » Fri Dec 07, 2012 5:04 pm

1st i would like to thank people behind this forum, been very heplfull through my jeurney to BC.
2nd:
I booked my Citizen Cermeney on the 19th of Dec, and i was thinking to fill the application prior to that date just leave the section requiring the certificate No. to that day, but i found out application has to be completed online (https://www.gov.uk/apply-first-adult-passport)
and then posted to me to sign and send it back.
I see this unnecessary delays. Is it still possible to get the hard copy from the postoffice and do it.

regards

The online option has been there for quite some time. You can still get the form from the post office. Make sure the countersignatory date the application on/after your ceremony date as he is required to sign after you have completed filling in the form.

I got my application form from the post office and I have a question about the address.
I would prefer to get my passport mailed to my work address as iam there everyday and I might moved there while my application in process.

I reckon you can do it. However, you will need to provide a letter on the official letterhead. check Kel's post here
