Heya there!
So under horrible circumstances, I had my passport stolen a few weeks ago — obviously, the passport office doesn’t care and I wasn’t able to get a fast-track appointment even after trying for quite a few days.
I am going on holiday on the 13 July — and I can’t upgrade my standard application until 6-weeks (which would be the 20th july — far too late for me to go on holiday.)
Has anyone had any luck turning up to the passport office and getting an application upgraded/sorted without a fastrack? aware this is also a lost/stolen passport so they might be even MORE resistant to help me here
