Applying for baby's 1st British Passport whilst in NZ
I figured this could be useful information for others so deserved a post in its own right.
Our new baby boy is now approaching 4 weeks old. As detailed in my other post, him being born slightly earlier than planned caused some issues with our PR application. We needed to get him a British Passport and was initially told by the Passport helpline in New Zealand that it'd take 4-6 weeks. The timeline of what actually happened was as follows;
I don't imagine it's always this quick, but assuming your application form and ID etc checks out, it just proves that "4-6 weeks" can easily be a considerable over-statement too!! |

We renewed our youngests passport earlier in the year and that was 5 days start to finish so its not unusual for their service to be that quick.

Nevertheless their service has been excellent... short of the 10min phone call I had with them to discuss the fact that nobody in NZ has known us for more than 2 years therefore I wasn't sure what to do about the counter-signatory.... $45??? but... the passport got here so it's worth it... kinda. |
