They seem to be very inconsistent on this one. I applied for my Passport in September of last year. I also needed my original passport for travel and did not want to send it. I get a certified copy at a mailbox/shipping store, certified by the notary public they had there. I had no issues with it, received my passport without issue. Just as a note, I've noticed from the threads that for US applicants, copies certified by a notary public with a stamp and all seem to have less issues than copies certified by other types of folks. Just my observation. Good luck!sstewart50 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 4:45 pmThanks for the reply. I did indeed send in a certified copy (Solicitor) and got the request for the original copy. I did get on the passport webchat today, however as I need the original passport for Travel in April/May this year. I looked to confirm my timeline for getting this in (6 Months from my application start would be June 2023). I was concerned with the tightness of this timeline. When I mentioned I had sent in a certified copy the webchat indicated that this should have been sufficient and that they would bring my case to the checker again. They noted I would be advised if there was a reason why the certified copy was not sufficient this week...so I'm crossing my fingers that this was an initial error by the checker on the certified copy.
