Hi there


Has anyone been able to turn up at the London passport office and obtain an appointment on the day for a first child passport? The official line is that you need to have a pre-booked appointment, but I've previously heard that sometimes you can get seen on the day if you doorstep them....although this may be wishful thinking!


Thanks!

Oh God, this brings back horrible memories of a couple of years ago, when we discovered we hadn't renewed our daughter's passport before our holiday and we were flying on the Monday (this was the Sunday)... I think my husband ended up having to go to the Peterborough office at the crack of dawn to get a same-day appointment, with our daughter tagging along, as there were no London appointments available. I have blocked out the memory as it was all so traumatic - I had to fly out with my other daughter while they were doing this, and they had to get a later flight. Needless to say, our daughter thought it was all a tremendous adventure, whereas my husband and I were gibbering wrecks and many hundreds of pounds lighter by the time we'd been reunited abroad.


Sorry, not sure this is very useful for you! I did manage to speak to a very helpful guy at the passport office who talked me calmly through all the options as I wept down the phone. They might be able to advise you of the wisdom or otherwise of rocking up without an appointment. All I can say is GOOD LUCK!

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
