1st time passport application question

Hi all 
I just wondered if anyone knows if all 1st time passport applications have to have an interview?
The reason i ask is because my friend sent her application off to them 2 weeks ago and yesterday she rang me to say the money has been taken from her account.
She hasn't heard anything back from the passport office yet about an interview but i thought it a bit strange that they would take the money before the interview stage.

Money is taken before the application is even scanned on to the system. As soon as her application hjas been examined she will get letter asking her to make an appointment at her local interview office. The whole process can take about 6 weeks0
