Hi @impatient123

I called yesterday at this number: 0300 222 0000
In the menu I pressed 8, then 3 (menu options)
After that I was in a queue for 10 minutes and some woman answered.

I told her this:

I want to expedite my application process for a first child passport. Then she asked me my application number, and a reason. I said, to baptise my child in other country, and I have a ferry boat ticket to France on 7 May 2022.

She will tell you what you need to do, you have to write an e-mail to the relevant Passport Office, in my case the London team: LondonUpgradeTeam@hmpo.gov.uk

I can’t upload the e-mail I sent because there is no option here, but I can put here my e-mail, and I also attache a PDF of my ferry boat ticket.

Applicant details:

Name Surname
PEX 355 XXX XXXX

Mobile number: 077XXXXXXXX
E-mail: XXXXX@XXXX.com

I need a passport expedited for travel on 7 May 2022 for child baptism in other country. We have a ferry ticket for France sailing on 7 May 2022, in the morning. I am willing to pay the surcharge for the expedite option and would greatly appreciate your help.

@HL85 I may try that. Do you know the exact phone number to call? Thank you!

Thanks! I am worried 🙂 I applied 6 April, now it’s been 21 days since, and still not received it. Hopefully like your situation it will be 31 days, or 6-7 May approx. (First child passport)

Thanks for your information!
