A small heads up if you are thinking of using Check-and-Send service, some Post Offices have ill-informed staff, like in my case they insisted on grandparents DOB, Marriage and City details, even though I tried clearing but to no avail, so I asked for a paper and just wrote their names and rest as "UNKNOWN". Got my passport within three weeks.beinghuman wrote:Brilliant

Exactly, as I said some Post Office staff are ill informed, but as time passes this will hopefully be cleared all over the country.gbhsmp wrote: I had a different experience with check-and-send.
I had not filled-up my grandparent's details. The person in the counter said that it will not be their liability if the application gets rejected. I asked them to go ahead and the person in the counter went and called the HMPO and got back saying that they are fine with it since mine is naturalisation application.
My application processing did not have any issues ... I must say I had the feeling that HMPO are good in reasoning and very considerate. So nothing to fear in passport application. Afterall passport cannot be denied to British citizen. It is just that if there was a grave mistake it might take some more time (trials) to get it done.
Completely your choice, as far as I understand you all three are just applying at the same time, but they are three applications as far as HMPO is concerned, so if you want to use check-and-send, they'll treat them as three different applications too. Sending in one envelop doesnt change this.stokbrig wrote:Hi there,
I would like to apply for first British passport as part of '' family application'' including my wife and my child using check and send service.However, post office told me they will send the applications in different envelopes .
Is that OK or I should send them myself as a package in one envelope ?
Please advise
