Re: Paris passport application
I know Lorna! And it says on the website it takes at least 6 weeks for a first passport. Maybe if they've messed up an application of yours in the past they do future ones properly? I was really worried they'd reject the photos so when we got home to a TNT envelope I was sure it was just the application being returned, but hubby said he could feel a passport inside.
I'm off to phone my mum and tell her to expect us, then try and get some cheap flights!

Re: Paris passport application
Danil - can I ask how you sent the stuff off to Paris?
My envelope took more than a week just to get out of Italy.
By the way - I am very pleased you had a lot less hassle and are going home with baby.

Re: Paris passport application
I just sent it racommandata - tried to get the one with proof of posting but was told you can only do that within Italy, but I used it last time and it took 10 days to get to Paris.
Glad to be going home but struggling with arrangements, my mum lives near Hastings and in-laws are near Glasgow!

Re: Paris passport application
Just goes to show that nobody in Italy knows any set rules.
I sent a raccomandata assicurata per l'estero so the person who told you that it exists only in Italy wasn't working properly that day.
In any event - my extra paid for "insured post" took a damn sight longer than your normal raccomandata. Oh Italy .............

Re: Paris passport application
Hello TestaRossa. My name is nadia. I'm new to this but I was just wondering if you or anybody else could help me with my paris passport application. I live here in italy with my Italian partner and 2 kids. I need to get a first time british passport for my daughter. I know I need to get her Italian birth certificate translated into english but want to know if I need to get it "certified" or something; it doesn't seem to say on the website. Last thing, do I have to send some other id apart from copy of my passport and full birth certificate?
sorry it's so long! thanks to anyone who can help.
