Sorry to say this, but that is not the right way to go about it, at all.
If people start doing that, it will clog the system even further and people that genuinely have a very expensive holiday within a couple of weeks could potentially miss out (and have in previous cases), if people buy fake £7.99 flights and jump to the front of the que!!!I ended up cancelling my passport application and will be trying to get 2 child first passports through the 1 week fast track. I was told to send in a withdrawal letter (for each application) but I also requested that they put a note on my record to say that i’d asked to withdraw the application. The advisor told me not to book a fast track appointment till my withdrawal document had been uploaded which he advised could take up to 10 days.
I received a call back today (from an earlier query that I raised) and I did ask to see if my documents had been uploaded yet- bearing in mind, it was only about 3 days ago I sent them but thought I’d ask anyway- and the lady said it would take up to 3 weeks for documents to be uploaded! She said that guidance had changed from today.
Just wanted to give everyone the heads up with regards to this.I’m thinking of booking a fast track regardless next week, for 3 weeks time and hoping the withdrawal letter has been uploaded.
I didn’t send in my marriage certificate as the birth certificate has both my married surname and maiden surname on- so thought this would suffice
I’ll give them a call tomorrow and see what they say and will let you know
I go on holiday on the 14th of June- so hoping I get them back in time (I’ve sent 2 child’s first passports off, 1 to Hemel Hempstead and another to Peterborough)
