I'm having the same problem, what is the place of issue of my UK passport? Some people say write United Kingdom. I have no idea which city in the UK issued it though. What do I put there? Just United Kingdom?

IPS is the issuing authority, if this helps.

IPS= Identity and Passport Service, this was the name used for the issuing agency before it was changed to HM Passport Office.

I don't think it matters where it was issued and maybe one would never know..I sent my son's first passport application to Newport, got a telephone call from the Liverpool office with a query regarding documentation and had to take him to the office in Plymouth for an interview.

IPS, UK should be sufficient.

IPS has not been named as such since May 2013, it is now HM Passport Office. It is abbreviated on passports as HMPO.
