    Good advice Nile.

    If the OP submits the paper version of the passport application, you must use a black ink pen. My relative had their application returned because they'd used a blue ink pen.


    Similarly if the person who's countersigned the passport puts even a fraction of their signature outside the box it will be returned.

    Apologies to the courteous staff who do exist but in my experience, arriving at your destination can be stressful due to the very slow moving queues. Then the stern/grumpy/surly staff who inspect your passport and ask questions. Be prepared for the worst experience and anything better is a bonus.


    You're right. Staff at passport control and security seem determined not to smile or even have eye contact.
  • Update: The birth certificates and marriage certificate will be posted on 3rd of September, I already filled in my passport form, all I need to know, can I put today's date in now on the form, or will I need to put the date when I send the form off?

    You are supposed to date any legal document the day you sign it.
