Hi, I heard back today from Durham office, seems my mum sent a shortened birth certificate which they wouldn’t accept and they requested a marriage certificate despite my parents divorcing many years ago. It seems so excessive in this day and age to request originals from the grandparents, when they are all in the system for their own passports,hmrc, dvla etc etc with the difficulties of applying overseas as it it. Frustrated. Clutching at straws but they didn’t mention the babies photo so I’m hoping that met their standards.
Ours was sent to Durham, I wasn’t sure how it would work as they requested birth certificate from both sets of grandparents as well as my own too. Seems a ridiculous system particularly as the application was coming from overseas. I did notice that the overseas application forms have been updated since I submitted so I’m hoping this doesn’t cause any further delays…

Application submitted 7:50pm on 21 March 2020I’m applying for my babies 1st passport from USA, waiting patiently like you guys glad to see a bit of movement the last couple of days at least. I just want the passport as awaiting for borders to open so we can come back and visit family with our not so newborn anymore:( figured the uk passport would be a quicker option than here but now I’m not so sure!
