HOW OUR SERVICE WORKS WHEN YOU RENEW OR ORDER A SECOND PASSPORT UK WIDE

Whether you are renewing an existing passport or ordering a second passport UK wide, your considerations remain the same. You want a fast, efficient service, with a minimum of fuss, and you want your application to be accepted first time, without the need for toing and froing if mistakes have been made. The Post Office offers a checking service that ensures the right documentation is being submitted and your form is completed correctly, but this comes for a fee and is not guaranteed to speed the process up. You still also have to make the journey to the Post Office and back, and deal with subsequent queries from the UK Identity and Passport Service (the IPS). These days, we are all busy, and no-one more so than people who work a nine to five job or one that involves travel. It’s not always convenient to make it to the Post Office during their limited opening hours for a UK passport renewal. Using a service such as that provided by London Extra takes away much of the stress and the inconvenience. We process and submit the correct documentation to the UK IPS on your behalf, so you do not have to visit, communicate or write directly to that agency. This is especially valuable if you need your new passport, or are getting a second passport UK wide, in a hurry. As noted above, we can arrange for fast processing and delivery of your new passport, without you needing to queue outside your local Passport Office, which is often with an uncertain outcome.
