Renewing a passport
About 20 days ago I sent my passport off for renewal. I ordered a 48 page one
All was going well, payment taken and email updates. Then last week I got a call saying there was a problem... They spotted that they have printed me a 32 page passport when I asked for 48pages. Now the craziness starts. The options available to me are: 1) take a refund for the difference between a 48 page and a 32 page passport 2) have the 32 page passport posted to me, I send it back stating it was not what I asked for and they will refund the postage and print me a new one. The obvious option i.e. don't post the 32 page one to me and print me off a 48 page one and post it was not possible! Brilliant. As I have to travel in 10 days, I'm forced to take for the refund and a 32 page passport. All a bit of a drama but given that the previous 48 pages only lasted 37 months this is quite annoying. |

Stop travelling so much, stay at the office.

Ask them if the UK one is not an option, can they do any other countries in a 48 page layout?

Re: Renewing a passport
Millhouse, the same happened to me. And I've just remembered I forgot to claim the refund of the difference in cost. ( thanks for the reminder :)).
They also sent it back to my residential address and not my office address so the courier had to re route - I had written clearly in the correct area (or so I thought) the return address. But it did only take 11 days door to door.... |

Re: Renewing a passport
I got a new 48 page passport this July from the office in Victoria. Went in at the appointed time for an 'interview' then dossed around the streets of London for 4 hours then went back and there it was all shiny and brand new. Cost 130 quid, mind you.

Re: Renewing a passport
I need a new passport, and I'll be back in Uk for 2 weeks soon. Is that long enough to do it by post in UK?

Better to do the same day thing, or do it from here -- it's a bit more expensive but less hassle in a way. |

A friend did it the day he arrived in the UK and it was returned to a UK address (mine) in about 8 days.

Just had a look at the Passport Office website. Think I'll go to the nearest office (Durham), and use the Fast Track service, which means it should be posted to my home address within a week.
