UK Passport - place of issue

[FracturedRabbit]

My previous UK passport was issued in Bangkok and had "Bangkok" as place of issue. The new one, issued a couple of months ago, has "Authority:  HMPO" which would indicate that it was issued in the UK?

This is suddenly relevant because I am applying for a new UK driving licence and can prove identity by giving my passport number, provided that the passport was not "issued outside the UK by an embassy or consulate".

 

Anybody know where passports are now generated? Thanks

All UK passports are now issued by "HMPO UK" which is the passport office in Liverpool.

Mine issued a few months ago,was issued at Durham,even

though my daughter posted old passport and forms from

Coventry, and there is an office in Warwick,which is obviously

nearer.
