    Honestly, I am getting a passport renewal at a London appointment for my daughter tomorrow and all of the information has been so confusing. This has helped me so so much. Feeling more relaxed now. Thank you for posting this! 👏

      Hi, I left the reply for a few days. As I was genuinely interested if all went well and you had no problems. I certainly hope so anyway 😀

    Thank you for this insight! I've opted for the fast-track application and this video breakdown was definitely needed

      Hi, so glad I could help. I did find it in the end very straightforward. I guess it doesn't help when you read in the newspapers how difficult it is !!!. So just remember, 2 copies, double triple check. 😀

    standard passport = 32 pages
    jumbo passport = 50 pages
    each page can hold 4 stamps
    but if you transfer, i.e London-Basel-Belgrade, you'll have 4 stamps for that 1 trip

      Not unless you stay airside at Basel, it’s Non Schengen Transit so you don’t need to go through immigration

      Good luck. I am sure you will be fine. Do let me know how you get on 😀

      Hi, I would double check that as you need 2 Photographs ? and a completed form. You can get the photographs from any Photo Booth at main post offices. If you are using your old passport as ID then you do need to be recognised from the old passport to the new photos ( I thought I might look a bit different but I had no problems.

    A very helpful video. I am off to get a passport renewal next week via fast track/1 week.
    Out of interest ? What supporting documents did you need to take with you ?
    Thank you

    • @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot
      @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I did take my birth certificate with me and other ID I had. However it was not needed as my old/existing passport was used as ID. The officer told me supporting documents are only required if you don't have the existing passport or you are unrecognisable on the existing passport.

    Do they take in your documents and mail them back to you or do you just get your new passport mailed to you?

    • @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot
      @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, your new passport is sent via TNT . I received mine after 5 days. I explain more about TNT at the end of the video. My docs were sent separately and took about 10 days. There are details of that when you pay online

  • @sassyluxe8955

    Did you need to take a second person with you to take a photo of you as it says this on the government website

    • @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot
      @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot  ปีที่แล้ว

      I didn’t read that anywhere ?? Are you sure it was on the official UK GOV passport website. For online applications , maybe it suggests to get a person to take picture ( that makes sense) but for the 7 day or paper applications you need printed photos ( I got mine from a booth at Post Office )

    Is it possible to complete this with a german passport. Thanks

    • @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot
      @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot  ปีที่แล้ว

      No, this is for an adult United Kingdom passport. For a German passport you would need to contact the relevant German authorities.

    My tnt tracking isn’t working

      @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot  ปีที่แล้ว

      I remember having to play around from the email I received from TNT. Adding the reference number I got from the passport office. Then that generated the TNT reference. Which then gave me a time slot. Which is 12 hours 8am to 8pm ( so not brilliant )

    I'm in the same position fast track passport renewal and still recognisable from my photo on my old passport, so what documents do I need for the appointment? Is my old passport, completed application form and 2 passport photos enough?

    • @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot
      @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      In my position I had used my passport 3 months previously. So therefore I was recognisable . But I didn’t want to take a chance as appointments were scarce.
      But my interviewer did check and I wouldn’t of needed countersign. Just completed form and 2 photos and existing passport

    • @TomTom-ul1sw
      @TomTom-ul1sw ปีที่แล้ว

      @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot great thanks for the quick reply. I read so much conflicting information online based on my situation, some sites saying I needed my marriage certificate, birth certificate and all sorts which didn't make sense

  • @Autofitelectrics
    @Autofitelectrics ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi just a quick one please. If your doing a fast track application do you just need the old passport and the pictures ? No other forms of id ? So the old passport is your supporting documents ? Thanks in response

    • @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot
      @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot  ปีที่แล้ว

      In a word, yes. If your old passport in un damaged and you can still be recognised from the photo. Then all you need is a completed form, 2 photos and your passport.
      I am a bit belt and braces kind of guy, took 2 copies of form, countersigned photos and birth certificate. But I only need the 2 photos and old passport

    Bit of a weird question but what was the security like, can you bring a bag in with you? Got an overnight bag I'll need to bring in there

    • @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot
      @SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, not a weird question. Security was airport style. I had a small ruck sack that was checked . And a walk through a metal detector. So no problem with a small bag
