Petals Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Applied on line 10 Sept for renewal of my Brit passport. Sent off same day received my new passport 3 October. Great service and so easy to do now, no countersign photos, no witnesses excellent and very efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Did you send your Australian passport to them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 No I did not, it said to send any passports that are current and my Aus is out also and has to be renewed lol. I would not have sent it anyway because I have had it renewed a few times so surely they have my records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'm pretty sure the reason why they are now insisting dual citizens send in their other passport is because they want to look at all the visa pages. I think this has come in because they want to know whether people have been to places like Syria or Iraq or nearby countries, and if so they may refuse to renew the UK passport. Just my theory but I think that is why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Probably but there is the choice to send them photocopies of every page if a person did not find it convenient to send a passport. As I have no visas and have not visited these countries for a long long long time not a prob for me Think my age my be a give away for them as well lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucharmily Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I also received my new UK passport back this week - was a 2.5 week turnaround so very pleasantly suprised. I didn't send my Oz passport but sent photocopies of every page of this passport as requested on their website. Made for quite a bulky application as also renewed my daughter's too!
