UK passport renewal, etc
Hello,
Has anyone experienced problems with a) getting their British p/port renewed from Australia, and if so, how, and b) have they found that any questions that they may ask of the HMPO email service re. certain matters that are of concern to them or need clarification before the application AND PAYMENT are made, seem not to be given a straight answer? From my experience one is simply referred back to the 'Notes' pages for an answer. (I wouldn't have sent the email if the answer was quite obviously there). Considering that there is, essentially, a no-refund policy in place for a failed application, it would be good to be assisted as much as possible by the HMPO with any queries a person may have. Any experiences on this topic would be welcome.

Re: UK passport renewal, etc
If you're simply renewing a passport then there's very little to get wrong. We've already previously covered off criminal records and non-residential addresses for you. Do you have any outstanding concerns?
