Don't forget to check that the passport numbers are correct on the individual stamps. Someone on here didn't check theirs and ran into problems when they emigrated! |
Hiya Troood,
thanks for that, what exactly am i looking for? Please explain in idiots terms!:D |
Originally posted by steandleigh Hiya Troood, thanks for that, what exactly am i looking for? Please explain in idiots terms!:D If you look carefully at the stamp in each passport you will see a long number on it. It should be the same as your passport number. Just double check that the numbers are correct. I haven't got my passport with me but the numbers might have your date of birth included in them. Take a look at it and it'll make sense (I hope). If you get stuck let me know and I'll dig out my passport when I get home tonight :) |
Hmm...thanks for that...now I'M STRESSING!!!!!!
This is what we've got: ( on the bottom line of the visa sticker : 4xxxxxxxx<<<<<UK<<xxxxxxF<BN<136<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The first lot of numbers correspond with my passport number - except - THE END NUMBER IS MISSING!!!!! I know that after the 'uk' bit, is our dates of birth, backwards, plus 'm' or 'f' for male or female, and im presuming the end bit is 136 - our visa class? Why are we all missing the end number? HELP!!!:confused: |
Hi,
Just checked my old visa for you and the bottom line of it the first digits are my passport number, all digits there. Does that help?!! :) |
Hi BKate,
kind of helps...looks like we may have a bit of a cock up on our hands..... theres four of us and all our passport numbers are missing the last digit.:confused: :( |

Hope that makes some sense to someone :D |

The random number is a check digit, you get them on travellers cheques and the like, you use a special formula with some or all of the whole number and the result is the check digit. the only number you should use for a passport is the one that says passport number on the top right hand side of the page

We got ours back today aswell and I have just checked ours.
The very last line reading from right to left is: visa type no m or F (male/female) dob uk passport no. (full number 9 digits) Hope this helps Mandy P.s Can anyone tell us if we have to show them the grant letter? |
Congrats on your passports being returned and i hope you sort the confusion out.
