Passport!?
« on: 06 October 2011, 10:12 »
Right, so I've been looking at a few websites and direct.gov etc but not having a lot of luck

I was just looking at some info regarding passports and how long will it take for me to actually receive it. When I had mine done it only took a week! But that was how long ago.... Exactly. I'm just worried it won't be here in time at the end of November even though it might take 2 weeks?

Anyway, point is I'm going to Wales the end of this month and I swear someone told me before they were able to get a passport done on that very day they go to the home office place - which I think is in Wales? Can anyone shed some light pretty please :)

I got my passport done after I lost it the very next day at the passport office which is in London just behind Victoria station. Wasn't cheap (cant remember the price but was over £100) but I needed it.

As you said you need to be there in person (10 minute train journey for me so no dramas, bit of a hike for you though). Not sure what this place in Wales is that your thinking of.

problem is... you need a passport to get into wales.. so you can't go to the passport office there without one.

Well fortunately it isn't me who needs a new passport as I already have one, it's Kirk but he does have one which has expired.

And wait, hang on! You don't need a passport to get into Wales?!


Alan, thank you! Scrap Wales.... London is where it's at haha! :)

Passport office is in Newport not far from the bus station. They can do it in a day but get there early as it will be a long day.
