Understand if your with 48 hours of travel you will be seen. You can go to nearest office

I went to the Peterborough passport office yesterday without an appointment to try and sort out my childs renewal passport struck in processing since 8th March. I got there are 8.45am and left with a passport in my hand at 3pm. So much stress and night less nights. We flight at 1pm today!!!! If you are flying within 48 hours and have been waiting more than 6 weeks GO TO YOUR LOCAL PASSPORT office. They will sort it.

Old passport was at Liverpool. Peterborough contacted Liverpool to get it sorted. You can go to your nearest office. The staff work their way down the queue to see what your issue is! Very helpful and willing to help. There is a great facebook group thats so helpful - Passport chaos 2022 If i hadn't of joined that facebook group i would not have the balls to go down the passport office without an appointment and won't be sitting in the airport now and would be £1000 out of pocket!
