    I’ve not been yet, I travel on Saturday, so I’ll head to Glasgow on Thursday if i haven’t heard anything. If you think something is worthwhile taking just take it / it’ll do no harm. It’s a nightmare, I’ve never been so stressed out before. Keeping everything crossed for you.

    I’m sorry to hear that you are still experiencing this so close to travel. From what I understand you can take your driving license and proof of travel along with your ref no of your application. It wouldn’t hurt to take a proof of address, bank statement etc. not sure if anyone else has anything to add. I would definitely go to the office. I truly hope you get this sorted.

    Hi there, I applied by post as well and didn’t take a note of the reference number, don’t know why it didn’t occur to me. Anyway, I called the customer service number and they struggled to find us but after a few searches found us and adviced the reference numbers. I would definitely say you’ll need them. Worthwhile phoning again, hopefully you’ll get better luck.

    Good morning all, daft question but are you best to wait 48hrs rather than going any earlier? Just wondering if I should go on Tuesday but don’t want to get turned away as it’s not deemed as urgent – to them at least.

    When I called I got an email to say that the upgrade has been applied for. But nothing when I sent the email, so I called the day after to make sure the upgrade request was showing on their records, they checked and confirmed. I am praying they call tomorrow or Monday. If not I’ll show up on Thursday. Glad you got yours sorted eventually 🙂

    Thank you so much for your info, very helpful. I am due to travel on 9th, so a week tomorrow. It looks like they are waiting until the eleventh hour before contacting people – total nightmare! I applied by post. Thanks again for all your info!

    Hi all, I’m new here and looking for some advice/reassurance. I sent 2 passport applications at the end of April and we are due to travel next Saturday, 9th July. I submitted an urgent application last Saturday and still not heard anything. Is there still a chance we will get these in time. I feel sick with worry, this is torture. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
