Interview, moving home and travel - advice please!

Hello all,

Really hoping you can give me some advice. I received my invitation letter and have booked my ceremony for the end of August.

1) I will be moving home shortly so I was wondering if I need to notify of change of address when I apply for the passport (or in the interview?!).
I do have mail forwarding set up from old address to new, but of course since application is 6 months old the original form lists the old address.

2) Also, I need to travel for work in September. Approximately how long after the ceremony will I be able to do the interview and receive my new passport? Is there perhaps a way to fast track this?

Many thanks in advance.

I don't think it's necessary to inform them of your change in home address but just to be sure, just give them advice. I may be wrong. By the way, they'd probably ask you of your home address (the one you indicated in your application form) during interview. There are cases even when they ask you how you got to the interview venue from your home. This might be immaterial but thought you might be interested to know :)

And it says near the top:
Allow at least six weeks for a first adult passport

In most cases you will need to attend a passport interview, so Fast Track and Premium services don't apply. The timings in this section are for other applications.
