Neeranam Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Good news is that mine took less than two weeks from trendy and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only credit card/debit card and the billing is in sterling. £106 for a standard passport (including courier). I believe there was an increase that came in earlier this year but not that much. I also got my passport back in under two weeks last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if you want the 'within a week' jobby it is 142 quid, or 152 for 50 pages . And I got mine, from Liverpool posted to my home address within 24 hours. Great service. https://www.gov.uk/get-a-passport-urgently/1-week-fast-track-service Edited September 5, 2018 by wgdanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHTel Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Agreed. You can get express services for a cost. I was responding to a post that quoted a UK passport as 170 quid and comparing it with a Thai passport at 500 baht (actually 1,000 baht) The underlying cost of a UK passport increased this year: Quote The fee has risen to £75.50 for online applications and £85 for postal applications, making HM Passport Office an added £50million in 2018-19. Charges for children's passports has gone up from £46 currently to £49 online and £58.50 in the post. Previously, a standard adult passport or renewal cost £72.50 regardless of how the application was made. The £12.50 increase for the postal service represents a jump of 17 per cent for adults and 27 per cent for children. You will pay a courier fee in Thailand and of course extra for 'special services' in the UK. I do hope that's the end of my simple correction.

I think I paid £106 earlier this yearfor kids, and also 2 years ago for myself, via Trendy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a load of rubbish as I have a UK Passport with digital chip but I have NEVER had my fingerprints taken, and iris scan is impossible from a photo because of the low resolution, and facial recognition can be changed by wearing glasses, shaving or hairstyle. Get a new one mate. I think that fingerprints, Iris scan is for foreigners entering US for example. I think it’s China where I had to do both.

pieeyed Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Usually depends which I.O is looking at your passport. Some I.O complain about a little stamp that was put in your passport and kind of torn your a page a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the only part that is smudged I don't think that it will be a problem as long as the other photo is good. I had to look for some examples of Philippine passports to compare it to.
