I have two passport applications outstanding (1st child and child renewal) we are currently at 7 weeks waiting and travel in 3 weeks. My local passport office is 4 hours away so I need to plan ahead to get there etc. I have called HMPO and have been told to wait until 2 weeks then apply for upgrade. What would happen if I just turned up at passport office 2 weeks before travel? Would I be seen? I’ve tried getting my MP to help fast track but hasn’t helped as of yet. Any tips greatly appreciated
