Thats great. We only had renewals to do - three of them - and I was concerned but ours have all come back within 7 days of the Post Office check service being used.

The Post Office service does not get done any quicker though, they just get to take the blame if the application is rejected.

i sent my familys off through the postoffice check and send, and we had a letter saying the one photo failed, thought the po knew what they were doing

I sent my application off last monday and they have taken the money out of my account this week. does this mean i won't have an interview? it's my first passport but i was on my mum and dad's when i was a child.

What did it fail on? My PO clerk put the pictures in a special little handheld checker although I don't know exactly what she was checking. For the three renewals I was with her for nearly half an hour. I was impressed. I'm sorry to hear your service wasn't so smooth - have you got it sorted now?

It is a worry when you are up against a limit isn't it? I had four months left on ours but didn't realise for some places you need a lot of time on it remaining after your planned return so the renewals had to be done PDQ.
