Thanks!

You can go to the post office and get the form there

I haven't seen any rule that says you can't use the same referee for BC and P.A. so you should be fine. I also think that GPs are accepted, they are people of professional standing and registered with a professional body, so they should be accepted. I submitted my application on the 3rd and got a no...

A passport is just an option, Troca; you don't need it, so you can apply whenever you like.

I know it's not the end of the world haha I was just wondering if that could be a problem, because it's read by a computer or it will be ok, because I wrote it clearly on a separate paper; I was wondering if anyone has had a similar case... My humble advice, take a chill pill mate. Don't worry about...

Hi Guys I submitted my application via the check and send service yesterday, so I take it it will arrive on Monday; I have a little concern; my post code contains a G which looks very similar to a 6 in the squares, because they are very small and have no space to write the G properly; does anyone kn...

I think 1 month is enough, but if you want to be sure you can just wait until you are back from your holidays; that's what I did; just wait until you are back from your February holidays and then apply for the passport. D THank you.I wart send my application on 10 th january,and i go to Holiday on 1...

Hi Tronca how long are you on holidays for? I'm not sure how long you have to call for the interview after the letter arrives; if I were you, I'd apply for the passport, after the holidays, that's what I'm doing. But let's see what other people say. Regards D Hi. I go to holidays in February.And my ...

Thanks Amber, Hopefully, they won't lose my documents or get my post code wrong as some other applicants state above. I'll try to submit it on Friday or Saturday; good news if it's taken less time now :) Sounds about right, but usually around half the time at the moment. Yes the extra £3 will return...

Hello Everyone, I posted this in the wrong forum before, I think. Hope you all had a good xmas :) I'm back, I'm going to apply for my passport now; so if I understood well: after submission, you get a text acknowledging receipt of your application (which takes about 5 days), then your foreign passpo...

I have posted my passport application using check and send, on 13-11-2013 I have no idea what so ever whether it reached passport office or not I have got some tracking sticker given by post office but that implies that no postage has been made Is it strange to expect an acknowledgement today, 16-1...

Ah you mean your naturalisation / citizenship application is taking that long? or you are already British and have applied for a passport?

Thanks Derivaz, I think the IPS service is excellent. The interview was informal, and the lady was very chatty ( wanting to know more than they should though) lol. However, am glad the journey came to an end. Getting a passport should be just a formality, it's a right you have as a citizen unless y...

4 months to get your passport??? that's very strange

It's likely due to the new B1 requirement being introduced and an expected 'rush'. If they've received the application (I assume you've tracked this) then just be patient, if there is a problem with payment details, they will contact you. They probably got loads of applications before the 28th of O...
