Thanks Maz, I wont forget to sign the photos... sue

I did this and I seem to recall sending the short certs, the application form, and the photos duly endorsed. I know that now the person endorsing the photos has to give details of their employer and also their passport number. nell

I did this last year - don't think I had to send the certs as they were previously on MY passport. But it is definitely best to phone the number on the form and check. Don't forget the photos for the kids have to be signed on the back too as well as the forms. Maz. XX

My daughter doesnt have a full birth cert only a short version that doesnt include parents names. I did order a copy of a full one,but its only a copy. Do you think they would except both,and the fact that she had been on my passport before? sue

You can get the documents for your passports checked at the postoffice now. If you pop along to the post offices web site you can find the nearest branch that can do the check other wise you need to send the birth certificate, I had to do mine that was 9 years ago. www.postoffice.*co.uk remove the star

Thanks Bev, Wasnt too sure will give them a phone tomorrow. The leaflet that comes with the forms doesnt explain much about what you have to include for kids. Sue

Yes. The original birth cert is nessesary. I sent the copy and had it all retured to me..... lou xx

Yes you do, but phone the help line before filling in the form, they are really helpful, and it can save you a lot of time and frustration. Bev

Do you need to send kids birth certs when applying for thier passports? They were previously included on my passport which has now expired... Sue
