@teenboy see my previous response to Ken regarding the photos Came home tonight and I received the same letter malafat has received - asking me to fill in the parents information :( if all they needed were parents information, why do they need me to fill in the whole form? WHY!!! It is also unclear ...

The reference number is the ten digit barcode number on the original form. But I agree, don't send it yet, it will make the poor feller even more confused. I was given some additional numbers/codes to direct it to the my caseworker. Literally It had a sticker label and they asked me to stick it als...

ken218 and malafat, I am still wondering how one was requested for parents details and other not. May be from Driving license application? Technically, if one obtained citizenship through work permit/tier 1, etc, then the citizenship has nothing to do with ones parents. So I don't see why such info...

called them again

The lady says each circumstance is different and you can not compare

I asked her if she is aware of the online system not asking parents details, she said "no"

You haven't provided parents details right?

Nope, They never asked for that.

This is odd

why they are wasting my time?

Status update: Applied: 2014-03-25 PO location: Newport Documents arrived at PO: 2014-03-27 Status: Awaiting information from the applicant (2014-04-08) Interview Letter received: 2014-04-15 (dated 2014-04-13) Problem: They cannot find this reference number when I called to book an interview Applie...

I can't log in as I didn't write the password/username down. But to give you an idea; They started processing my application on Mar 26 The letter was dated Apr 8 So roughly it took them 2 weeks to realize that the parents' details were missing. Also you will see when the letter comes, they were not ...

Got a letter from PO with a new form asking me to fill in my parents' details. We knew that was going to happen right :x pretty useless online system Unbelievable! If passport office needed these details, why didn't they ask for it when the application was submitted? The whole point of the online s...

Got a letter from PO with a new form asking me to fill in my parents' details.

We knew that was going to happen right

pretty useless online system

Just gave a call to PO

They said my application is being processed by the Peterborough Office (I originally sent to Glasgow) since Mar 26th.

I cannot track my application online as I didn't write the username/password down and there is no way to retrieve them.

Any updates on your case Ken?

On the other hand, if the online system works as it should, it should make the passport application much faster - you only need to fill in the part of the form that is related to you, payments are taken the moment you submitted the application, passport office save the cost of getting someone to ke...

Ken I didn't notice & write down the password and username which is given only once and no way to retrieve :( . so I dont know the status on my account. such a poor system they developed. I have submitted my feedback about these points, no one has came back. Just give them a call and try to speak to...

it is really odd, they didn't request any details about parents. Also there is no SMS acknowledgment etc... I posted mine on Mar 21st, no news since. Today called the passport support line number and they said that someone is looking at my application at the moment. Really very poor service so far-b...

Can people please chill out and be patient? The target processing time is 6 months. Why is everyone so anxious since it has only been two months after you have submitted your application? For the amount of money they charge, 6 months is not good enough, I am afraid. They should be providing a much ...

A few updates from me. I received the acknowledgement letter and have sent off a request for my passport to be returned. Payment still has not been cleared so I have no idea if I've actually paid for it yet. Original post updated here . Hey Rikken why did you request your documents back? please for...
