Re: Applying for British Passport online

The online status for both my wife and me has changed to "Please contact us". I hope that means that my letter asking me to schedule an interview is in the post. Had to cancel a trip to Germany because of this delay with online applications. :( You can call the appointment booking line, a...

Re: Applying for British Passport online

Hi all, I got my son's certificate of registration as a British Citizen recently and decided to use the online application form. It clearly asked for both parent's detail in the application. I filled in the application on 24th April so I don't know if they have made these changes recently or not. I...
