    Might be false rumours then mate cause from my understanding it’s not an option if it’s your first Passport – it’s not necessary if it’s your first Adult passport.

    Again, might be wrong – just my understanding of it 🙂

    I’m in a very similar situation as you! Flying out a bit later but the rest is the same.

    I’m even having doubts about getting mine on time, to the point I’ve lined up my mate that’ll replace me!

    That being said, being on here won’t fill you with hope – you’ll likely only find people with horror story waiting times as they’ll be the ones asking questions – someone who got one on time won’t likely come on a forum to discuss it.

    Ultimately, it’s a case of praying. The helpline is absolute no use as I’m sure you’re aware. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!

    Again, similar to me – you can’t even fast track it as it is your first one which is a farce in and of itself. I’d maybe suggest contacting your MP if you’ve waited longer than your minimum time (10 weeks providing they keep the same waiting times nation wide)

    Have you had your interview yet? I believe that’s a mandatory requirement for first UK Passport…

    All the best!

    I ain’t too sure the logistics of how it works but given the imcompetence of the passport office it’s probably one of your only bets. Worth a shot!

    Aww that’s gutting. The phone number is an absolute nightmare, have you tried contacting an MP? Might be your best bet if there’s no way you can get in touch directly with them!

    Ahhh rifht, so what stage is your application at according to the online tracking? Is it at least making progress?

    Fingers crossed for you mate, sounds like they’re having paper aeroplane competitions in those offices😂

    It’s so sh*t how it’s this much of a hassle to get it sorted. You can’t even fast track first UK passports (to my knowledge) which is a complete farce. Fingers crossed you get away, can you show me the log of your online application? Are they processing it or does it still say “send your documents” like Mine?

    Hi,

    Can I upgrade my passport application if it is a first passport? I am 21 and never had a passport before, I haven’t waited 10 weeks but I’d be happy to pay if that’s what it takes?

    Cheers
