Do you just return the passport in an envelope with no covering letter?
Or do you need to include the reference number given when you applied?

I included the reference number but not sure if you had to or not0

I just put the passport in an envelope; the reference number was included as part of the address. Seemed to work as the passport was received and the new one processed very quickly.0

You send it in a strong envelope and make sure you put the reference number on the envelope. Your old Passport will be returned to you separately once the application has been passed0
