We’ve had a nightmare with the whole thing. Applied to replace lost passport online 6th March and been stuck in processing since 14th March.
We were told to make an appointment and take a letter requesting the withdrawal of the online application. We followed all advice down to the letter….literally!
Paper application
2 photos (1 signed 1 not)
Withdrawal Letter
My partner got to his appointment and they rejected him as apparently he needed to of written to the office dealing with his application and had it cancelled before attending his appointment.
Now were back to square one and £200 worse of.

We’ve had a nightmare with the whole thing. Applied to replace lost passport online 6th March and been stuck in processing since 14th March.
Agents advice was to fast track, we had no docs to send so didn’t need to worry about having to wait for anything to be returned.

I would suggest if you go for this option allow 2 weeks and speak to as many agents as possible for advice.
Collect as much information as physically possible.

We did everything the agent told us do, so unbelievably done with now.
At no point did the agent say we needed to post a letter to the office nor could we establish where the application was being processed.
We have now emailed the priority email address supplied by the agent my partner saw today with all they details they have asked for.
We travel on the 18th and it’s been nothing but stress for 8+ weeks.

I’m helping my partner with his fast track application to replace a lost passport I just wanted clarification on what he needs to take, I can’t go with him due to work so I need to make sure hes prepared as much as possible…Organisation isn’t one of his strong points.
He has is withdrawal letter consisting of all original application details and the formal request to withdraw.
His completed application.
Photos (1) signed by a professional.

I’ve asked him to print off the email he had when he cancelled his passport but that might not be possible.
Should these details be added to the withdrawal letter?

We fly 18th April and his appointment is tomorrow 2 and half hours away in Peterborough.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
