Hi all regarding being turned away yesterday. I originally applied for my passport in may as mine expired in June, so last week I was asked to attention and funeral overseas, obviously this was last minute so I booked a flight and stuff got a letter from my MP indicating I needed my passport on the day. When I arrived they asked straight away was anyone flying today, I was so I told them I was. Then they checked my documents and because my flights were booked AFTER my passport application they said they was unable to do it, I explained that I applied in may as my passport was expiring in June and this had been an emergency booking last minute. They told me to get a letter from the coroners office and funeral director in Spain to confirm the funeral time date and place. They said too many people were booking flights to try and get passport quicker and because my flight was booked after my passport was ordered they would not be able to do it. Absolute joke. Missed the funeral now I had to fly yesterday. This was the Liverpool Office
