Re: British Passport application processing timelines (only)

@Anna
All postal ( Check and send) passport applications go to various locations depending upon ur postcode.

Good luck

Grandparent details are not required. I checked with passport office as well.

Please ensure your signature stays within the box and not even touching the boundaries.
