Documents to send for passport application

Post by androb » Sun Apr 07, 2024 6:22 pm

Hi,

I have applied for a British passport for my son (recently registered as a British citizen) and am asked to send the original registration certificate and any current or expired passports from other countries that haven’t been cancelled.

How safe is it to send these original important documents via post?!!!

There are obviously different postal options available. Most use first class or next day signed for.

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.

You have to send originals, I would recommend a tracked and signed for service. I used next day delivery.
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.
