Renewing U.K Passport Query

[Silentwalker]

When applying for a new U.K passport in Bangkok, do they cut/void the current passport when you apply or when you pick up the new one? Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure when you get the new one, since you'd have no way to travel if they lopped him beforehand.

That was my assumption as well. I'm hoping someone can confirm... I'll be extending my visa early next month. Applying for one now and then finding out it gets clipped would cause problems.

when its returned , they need to ask for your permission before they void it

I just renewed mine in Bangkok and they clip it when you get the new one.
