[quote="andreachen"]I had my passport interview today as well. They asked me virtually the same questions, so I guess that's standard:
- spell your name
- what's your address
- when did you move there
- date and place of birth
- where abouts is your place of birth (seemed that he just wanted to check that this didn't throw me, rather than that he actually knew the answer)
- email address given on form
- phone number given on form
- mobile number given on form
- parents' names
- parents' dates and places of birth
- who filled in the application
- how did you send the application
- what did you send with the application
- how did you pay for the application
- have you received your documents back
- how did you receive them back
- which bank accounts/loans/store cards/credit agreements/mortgages do you have (I had problems remembering all
)
- do you have any joint bank accounts
- do you have a mobile phone contract
- when where you naturalised
- where did you go for the ceremony
- who signed your photo
- what is his job and where does he work
- how do you know him
- how old is he (I didn't know this)
- are you registered to vote
- who else lives at your address
- do you know their date of birth (didn't sound like you are expected to know this, maybe it was just to make up for not knowing my referees age...)
And then I had to sign on some computer pad to compare the signature. He also checked that I looked like my photo. And I noticed that he stared at me the whole time, I had read other people commenting on this before so I guess they are told to do this on purpose. Anyway, he was very friendly, so I just stared back at him and answered his questions.
I didn't know a couple of things and got a bit confused at others but probably ended up with the right answer (eg I couldn't quite remember how I paid for it). But since I read that they haven't actually failed anyone at these interviews yet I assume it will be fine and I expect to get my passport in a few days.

Thanks guys for sharing the questions. A quick query-- personal stuff like "who lives with you?" and "how many bank accounts do you have?" Are these information you disclose on your application or is this from their background checks? Thanks!
