Congratulations guys, well done.

Jeff the passport renewal details are available on http://www.ukpa.gov.uk/

The Passport Service is only able to issue and service UK passports to British nationals who are resident in the UK at the time of application. We cannot accept or deal with passport applications from people who are applying outside the UK. We are also unable to answer queries from British Nationals living abroad. These issues should be referred to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.


There is a one day turnaround on the following
You will need to make a personal application at one of our offices, using our Premium service. There is an additional fee for this service (see What will it cost?). You must make an appointment before calling at one of our offices by phoning the Passport Adviceline on 0870 521 0410.
In Person at a Passport Office
The fee for the same-day service is £89 (child £71) and for the one-week service £70 (child £60). These fees include the standard passport fee of £42 (child £25) .

Please note:

You should be aware that there are only a limited number of appointments allocated for each day, and that these are allocated on a first come, first serve, basis. The UKPS cannot, therefore, guarantee that customers will be allocated an appointment in time for them to obtain a passport.

The Premium service is a guaranteed one-day service (provided it is received before the cut-off time). This service is not available for people applying for a first passport, or to replace a lost, stolen, or damaged passport. Your passport will be made available for collection at your passport office.
If someone is collecting your passport for you, they must provide evidence of their identity and a signed letter of authorisation from you. If the application is for a child, the person who has signed section 09 of the form must sign the letter. A passport can only be issued if the applicant is in the UK at the time of the application.

The guarantee for this service only applies if your application is properly completed and straightforward. The onus is on you to provide a properly completed application form and the required supporting documents to confirm identity and eligibility. If the information provided is incomplete, or in our view not sufficient to confirm eligibility, we may not be able to issue a passport in the expected time.

You are therefore strongly advised not to book any travel arrangements until you have received your new passport.

I dont think so, but you can always call them.

Anyone interested in a DIS Meet Friday night before the cruise? I know many are going to MNSSHP (I think I got that right), but what about others?

Still trying to figure out if we want to stay at Radisson or Ron Jon's. If anyone is at one of these hotels and is interested in getting together Friday night, let us know.

Almost 100% positive we will do Hyatt the night before then DIS transfers first thing the following morning!

Keeping my fingers crossed that the rates will come down a little

 

[traycie2201]

We'll be at the Disney Boardwalk right up to sat morning so won't make the meet but can't wait to be at the cruise meet on sailaway day and put faces to names.

Hi Everyone
Not been on the boards for over a week, hope I havn't missed much.
Just had the worst week of my life. My Mum passed away aged 59 suddenly with a blocked Kidney then complications. Fighting fit on the Thursday gone by Sunday. Been very hard to accept going so quickly.
Wish the cruise was nearer.
Wayne

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum, Wayne. My Mom is 60 and I cannot even imagine what you must be going through. My sympathies-

Carla

 

[traycie2201]

Traycie
