On 23 June CYA wrote that the only guarantee of getting a passport more quickly was to wait six weeks and then with flights booked within 48 hours to attend at a passport office and that it worked for him and everyone he knows. He received a bit of abuse saying it didn’t work etc. However, I can confirm that it DOES indeed work as it’s just happened to my son who is off to Majorca tomorrow. So guys if you’re in the UK and your passport application has been received for at least 6 weeks and you’ve got proof of flights within 48 hours then you should be able to get it. They did ask for proof of accommodation but as he’s staying in my apartment they accepted that. Good luck everyone

Hi all

My son went to Peterborough Passport Office last week and they told him that if comes back after 6 weeks (which was Friday) then providing that he had proof of flights within 48 hours then they would be able to process it and print it that day. He’s flying on Wednesday morning and is going back to Peterborough tomorrow to (hopefully) get it. Does anyone know how much the upgrade fee is?

I’ll let you know how he gets on
Thanks

Upsidedown how long have they had the application and was it a renewal or replacement?

[@st_tommy]

Bibokitty and how long have they had the application which I guess could have some bearing?

[@st_tommy]

Bobokitty how did you manage that? I’ve tried that combination of numbers and it just carries on with the message until I get to 3 then I have to wait an age and they just say there’s nothing they can do. What did you say to get it marked urgent? Just that travel was Tuesday? Any help much appreciated
Thanks

mikecul how long has it taken you to get to this point? When did you submit your application and what was it – a new, renewal or lost one. Sorry if this has been answered in previous posts but I’m new to the thread. Thanks

Inf103 what numbers and email addresses did you use please?

[@st_tommy]

Eagles6 was that during office hours not when they’re closed obviously. And did you press 8 and 3 immediately or after certain stages of the info message? Thanks

I’ll try again. I emailed proof of flights – 17/06 on 31 May. Got an automatic reply 04/06 saying

We’re working through upgrade requests by the date you need your passport. We will contact you in time to meet this date.

We can only help those that need a passport in the next 2 weeks and have evidence to support this.

But it’s still in processing- has been since 25/05. Anyone else done this if so what happened

Where’s my post? It says it was posted but I can’t find it
