Lost certificate of registration for British Passport?
|
I'm trying to renew my British Passport, and I can't locate my certificate of registration (I was born in Canada and registered by my British mum). The passport application and notes say that it is required, but I can't for the life of me find them. What should I do?
I can't phone the British High Commission, and their outsourced phone line is an outrageous $2.80/min. Grrr.
How absolutely necessary is it for my renewal? And if it's totally necessary, what are my options? Do I only need the number/date, or the whole physical document? How can I get the number if that's all I need?
Also, a question regarding the passport photos: the links on the website take me to ips.gov.uk where it says the pics must be B+W. However, on the official application notes page, it says either B+W and colour are fine. I only ask because I already had colour ones done, and I don't want to waste another twenty bucks. :)
Thanks in advance for you help.

Colour photos are fine, but they've got extremely fussy over other qualities (lighting, size, perspective, glare on glasses etc).
And as long as you send your old passport along with your application you should be fine, I think. Although since you quote a phone line as being in dollars, I'm assuming that you're not a British resident, so things may be different. I can however say for definate that a British citizen and current resident would not need to send their birth certificate, as long as they sent off their old passport.
My guess - you should be fine without it (presumably, it's already been seen by someone 'official' before, in order for you to get your last passport. That will be on record). At worst, the application may take a little longer and you may need to attend an interview. |
