Hello. Has anyone been to Trendy house lately. I am going on Thursday to apply for my daughters passport, and i noticed on the appointment form that it says no electronics. It has quite a list including laptops, tablets and usb devices, but doesn't say phones. I like to try to be organised and to have access to any uploaded documents if needed. Has anyone taken their phone in? Thanks. Steve D. 

Taken without issue.

 

There are checks at the entrance to the elevator, although they didt check me at all. 

Thanks👍

I went last week for same thing, just asked me to turn off phone volume.

Tendy is a building with lots of residents, bars, shops and offices. Maybe you should clarify which part you are concerned about.

Went to the UK visa agent (VFS) office last year .... as others have said, entering the Trendy foyer area is no problem as there's coffee shops and restaurants there.  Also several visa agents and places to copy docs.

 

Going up to the offices there's a couple of private security guys to help organise the queues, but no checks for phones etc.

 

While waiting for the Missus to get a visa I was messaging on my phone, but making a loud phone call with the speaker on would be bad form (anywhere).

Did you read his post?  He's applying for his daughter's passport.

Yes, I read his post.

And I came to this post because of the headline "Trendy Building".

Applying for a passport <> Trendy Building

 So rather than being obtuse it was more a snarky comment on the correct use of subject titles. Got it.

That was the clue

Yes to phones. No to laptops, iPads etc.

 

 

They do now offer to 'store' said items (for a fee).....that is a new development.

Thanks everyone for their help🙏

I asked this exact question on the forum 4 months ago. It is shocking how ambiguous the list is that they provide.

 

I can tell you with absolute certainty that they do allow a mobile phone. 

I went Thursday. I did get get in with my mobile phone in my backpack.
