Lost Passports Thread

[full back]

Do you even need a birth certificate for a British Passport?
Lost my Irish & English passports & was getting a replacement last week.
Too much hassle for an Irish one, having to go to the cops etc so I got a picture signed by the priest, rang the cops & got an incident number for lost passport & sent it off.
Nail, cant you just apply for a priority passport in the same way?

For a new UK Passport, yes, and it has to be the long form. I had to get a long one last year to work in the Civil Service, short form wasn't good enough.

I'm out in Australia at the moment on a UK Passport that I got earlier this year. It doesn't worry me about either a UK or Irish one - a UK one out here however allows you to enrol on to the Medicare public health system which covers fees to see the doctor etc. as well as free emergency treatement in A&E's and hospitals which I've already had to visit. The Irish passport only covers hospital treatment, so you can't claim money back on doctors appointments or perscriptions. Since I have to take regular perscription drugs and receiving long-term low level treatment, that was the main reason. And yes, I do have comprehensive travel insurance.

If you apply for a new UK passport, you will have to attend an interview. They send you out a letter asking you to make an appointment at one of their offices by calling a number. I got my letter on a Saturday and got an interview in Omagh first thing on Monday morning (the other interview centres are in Coleraine, Armagh and Belfast). It was no hassle, got my Passport in the post 4 days later. The countersign for the UK passport can be anyone who has a "standing in the community" or who has a professional qualification. I aksed an old friend who's now a teacher to do mine - incidentally she held an Irish passport but that's allowed for UK Passport applications. Got the application validated in the Post Office in Omagh at the back of Supervalu who charge an extra £7 fee but it gives peace of mind.

When I get back home, I'll get my hands on an Irish Passport as well if only to keep both choices open and be a help in travelling to certain places. I have two cousins who were both born in London who hold Irish passports (both parents were born in N.Ireland) who travel a lot, they reckon its safer to travel on them compared to a UK passport and they're probably right.

Well I am fcuked then.
Didnt send my birth certficate with the application
Are you sure you have to send it?
I didnt see it anywhere on the form

Na, didnt get the post office to check it, thought I was capable of doing it myself
Maybe it is different if you lost or got your previous passport stolen

Takes longer if its lost or stolen as there are more procedures to go through

Nail, have to say, your taste in music is total shite but your description of going to Dublin had me in stitches, great stuff. Have a good holiday, you deserve it after that escapade..
