Cheers for that ... reading it it seems as though your likeness doesn't actually enter into the equation when renewing? A new photo could be used if it was signed by the appropriate level of person.

Well: when I visited the passport office in Liverpool last year, my easy and quick renewal was dependant on the clerks being able to recognise me from my 13yr old passport. This was to avoid the PITA of having photographs endorsed by Judges, JPs, members of the clergy etc.....

Not only that the new ones have micro chips in them, a guy delivered them to my door not Royal Mail, when he knocked on the door and handed them to me I thought it was a summonds

How do you think I feel: mines is due for renewal now and Laura's needs to be renewed to reflect her change in name following our marriage in August. That'll be £144!!!!!

They had a difficult issue with certain new members of out community, working for the Royal Mail, who could spot a passport from 100 metres; which they then stole and sold on the black market. This was rife in London, with people becoming posties only in order to steal passports!
