Amy93 – I forgot to ask them to make a note as I need my marriage certificate back asap, due to 2 of my kids having my maiden name, so need to prove I am their mum. Rang the passport office which she has added the note to the application. Asked what the options are for the application, seems everyone counts differently, and she counts from when application is submitted, so has put an alert on my sons application. I was wondering if I could do fast check, but she said as it’s in examination it should be with me sooner than a fast track passport, and I should hear back soon, especially now she’s put an alert on the application.
