Help on Passport Request.....URGENT!!!
Hi
This is my dilema. I have 17 days from today to get my passports back to the Embassy or my 60 Days are up. I can send my Passport off now but my OH only has 18 Months left of hers so we planned to get hers renewed and get my son a new one as he currently hasn't got one and is on her Passport. The problem is we can't find my son's Birth Certificate so are unable to send the pasports off and even if we do find it it takes approx 2 weeks to get it returned leaving us only 2 days left...and the 2 week return is only approx!! Does my son have to have his own Passport or can I send just the 2 of them off?. Also, we plan just to get the Paperwork done then come back to the UK for a while. If we are aunable to get the passport renewed now and have to wait until next year, what will happen to my wifes Visa when her passport renewed. Any help would be appreciated ASAP.

The first thing I'd do is contact CHC and make them aware of the problem: hopefully they'll let you extend the wait for a few weeks while you get the passport situation sorted out.
Isn't there a way to get a passport renewed quickly by going to the nearest passport office? I'm sure someone mentioned it here recently. |

They wont close your file as it says "failure to communicate with us within 60 days" blah blah blah and your file will be closed. You have communicated so they wont close it. I went through the same thing when I couldn't get my medicals to them within 90 days ;) Anyhow , are we talking about the same embassy.........didn't know they had a phone line |

Hey Woofwoof

I know what your saying..........the only thing I would do , if you haven't had a response in a couple of days from your email, is send it again. I was very surprised :ohmy: and thought our case would be closed because of our 90 day medical deadline that we couldn't make. |
Re: Help on Passport Request.....URGENT!!!
why dont all 3 of you go to the nearest UK passport office, pay the £80 or whatever each and que up and get a passport the same day.
problem solved. |
Re: Help on Passport Request.....URGENT!!!
If you're renewing a passport the current time in the UK, if you pay the Post Office their fiver or so to preliminaryily check it, is about 5 working days. My inlaws renewed theirs last week, sent Monday, received Thursday. I renewed mine a couple of years ago and it took three days. The days of long passport renewal times are over, it's really quick now.

Hi Weener
Did you manage to get a new Birth Certificate for your son? Local town hall or registry should be able to provide one. Nik |
