Cant do online as all pictures are rejected.
Need passport application form.
Phone the number listen to F knows how many options, I thought I would be able to request one.
Cant find where to print one.
Don't want to use Post Office check & send.
Does anyone how/where I can get a form?
 
Can’t you get one from the Post Office? You don’t have to used their check and send service.

Not a post office that is close, the link I put above was no good.
If you go onto ukgov website you would expect forms to be there.
So you call the 0300 number thinking they can send you a form, but no its just recordings. ITS ALL PRETTY CRAP.
So I have now emailed them they cant send me a form as they don't know who/where I am.
Maybe I should land & Dover.
 
Jeez! Technology makes it so complicated. Couple of years ago I did it ye olde fashioned way. Visited P O. Got form. Got photos from booth in Asda. Sent form and photo off (didn't use check and send because only someone with the IQ of a remainer can't fill in a passport application). Got new passport couple of weeks later. What's so difficult about that?

As you say, doing it your way - it may be simpler to come in over The Channel on a lilo with some illegal economic migrants. Passport costs almost as much as paying a people smuggler these days.

Or wait a couple of months and get a nice blue passport. (y)

Here is the reply to the email I sent.
If you wish to apply a standard 5 or 10 year passport you can apply on-line at https://www.gov.uk/apply-renew-passport or pick up a standard Passport Application Form, which you can get from selected Post Office Limited branches.
 
So went to photo booth, took pictures, scanned back to PC & completed online application.
So a scanned pic was better than I could manage.
So fingers crossed & we get new passport.
 
It's very simple.

Nothing changes except the colour (which the UK could have done within the EU anyway) due to ICAO regulations...

I believe it's what is known as a 'pyrrhic victory' :LOL:
