HELP PLEASE
Please I really need help
I live in Madrid and I want to renew my british passport. I have been trying to do it online but when I reach the payment section they ask me for the "Postcode of the UK statement address" and I don't know what that is. Does anybody know what that is? It is driving me insane! I am stuck I need help please!
Thanks,
Gabriel

Re: HELP PLEASE
Hi, if I were to guess it would be the postcode of the address you use for your UK bank and where your statements go to .

Re: HELP PLEASE

Problems and complaints should always be addressed to a moderator who will look into the matter and deal with it efficiently and fairly. Our members who post in the Spain Forums are usually friendly and helpful with a wealth of knowledge of the issues of living in Spain. I hope that you enjoy your time participating in the forums.
Please let me know if you need any further help.

Re: HELP PLEASE
If you're in Madrid, why not just go to the Embassy and get them to help you fill it out?....I did.

Re: HELP PLEASE
I have both, even if the UK address is my sister's house, useful for when I order things from people who only deliver to the UK and she repackages and sends to me.
This comes about from years of having things rejected when trying to use the BFPO system, although that is much better now since Amazon embraced the forces system

Re: HELP PLEASE
Passport system is in a mess.
My son and grandchild lost their holiday as passports never arrived in time despite plenty of time allowed. No one can actually speak to the passport office all handled by a call centre. In the end involved the Minister for Passports Office and it was immediately fasttracked and received in three days. Suggest you pay the extra for fasttracking at the outset unless you have months before you will need it or as someone says go to Madrid.
The postcode will be the postcode of your UK bank account.
