Passport application query

Hi all,

I am in the process of completing a passport application, but I'm currently stuck on the question regarding previous passports.

The question is "Has the person named had ANY sort of passport, British or otherwise, or been included in any before?".........the last time I had a passport, many years ago (around 1996), it was a 1 year passport; I have never had a 10 year passport. Would I answer yes or no to the question?

The above question is asked when I am applying for a first adult passport, which I was advised is the option I should choose. Is this correct or should I apply for an extension to my old 1 year passport?

Thanks in advance!

    You can't extend a 1yr passport, but I would keep it as they don't issue them any more - I think 96 was the last year.

    Yes to the question and complete the details requested.

    And Yes, you are applying for your first Full passport
