Could someone provide the upgrade email for the Peterborough passport office for a child’s first passport
PeterboroughUpgradeTeam@hmpo.gov.uk
All the upgrade teams have the same email address, you just need to change the first bit to the office you need to contact.
For example LondonUpgradeTeam@hmpo.gov.uk
GlasgowUpgradeTeam@hmpo.gov.uk
And so on.
You should receive an automatic email reply from them letting you know they will be in touch within 2 days (Monday-Friday), however this isn’t the case.
They are currently working in order of travel date. I’ve been informed that upgrade requests are prioritised by date of travel and someone will be in touch near to your travel time.
I put in a request for an upgrade last Thursday and didn’t hear back from them until today letting me know they will be in touch soon.
I fly out on Sunday morning and there’s no guarantee I will get it but I was informed by the passport office that people are receiving their passports one-two days prior to their travel date as they are back logged with requests.
Hope this helps.
Travel date 19th of may, upgraded from standard to collection premium… shock still nothing. Applied on 13 th of march. Such shocking service. I have lost all hope. Still waiting on a call when they can tell me to collect the passport
