First adult passport

scottygirl_2

Hi I've just applied for my first passport(first going abroad). I know I have to attended a interview for this and was wondering what sort of questions I can expect and how long would the passport take to come after this . Thanks

waiting for my first passport not been asked for an interview yet

Havent seen the stats for a while but in the first few years of the interviews having been introduced.... 2 people had failed the interview. The theory is the fraudulent applicants bail before attending the interview, that or its just another waste of money.

The Mrs' questions were predominately rubbish like how does she get from home to the supermarket etc. She got some questions wrong, like who do I work for/ who issues her credit cards, but got the text that the passport had been printed the very next morning.

Passport arrived a couple of days after that.

HELP..... Im new and don't know how to post a new topic.....
anyway, my issue is


I have sent my passport away to be renewed along with a name change, have included my deedpoll and my old passport, i received a phone call 3 weeks after they received the passport and advised me that i had not changed my details with the DVLA, I havnt had a valid driving licence from 2006 when it expired due to medical reasons, I was advised that this needed to be changed before they could issue me my passport, so after a call to the dvla i was told I would have to renew my licence fill in another medical and await the outcome .....


the short version is I have now found out that DVLA will not change the name on my licence until I am reissued with a new licence and will take 8 weeks, however I know that I will fail the medical and there for my name change will not take place. I have asked for the name to be changed however I don't need a new driving licence and the answer was no.


now what? I cant have a passport because I don't have a driving licence? I have made multiple calls to DVLA and to the passport office and waiting phone calls back. I HAVE CHANGED MY DETAILS WITH EVERYONE ELSE IE HMRC BANK CREDIT CARDS ECT.


HELP! WHAT SHOULD I DO?
