The online service is excellent in my experience.
I've renewed 3 passports in the last 2 years and the experience was great each time, (even with one that had a bit of a complicated issue).• The rich buy assets.
• The poor only have expenses.
• The middle class buy liabilities they think are assets.0 -
I didn't think that the online service worked for someone that did not have a driver's licence. I'm assuming that the 16yo here may not have that.vacheron said:The online service is excellent in my experience.

There must be thousands of people with passports who do not have a driving licence.
Passport office do not use driving licence photo.
You can do it online with a digital photograph.
Are you thinking of DVLA using passport photographs for driving licence?
