Answer 2

Dont you think we can read the q/as in Britain.

Answer 3

No way you are going to get a passport in a week.  2 weeks, maybe with expedited controls.  Sorry, it's just not going to happen no matter what you do.

Answer 4

Not possible, I'm afraid. There is a FastTrack service, but it is onlyb applicable to adults who have previously held an adult passport. As you haven't, then the fastest turnaround time isn between 3 and 6 weeks.

See <>http://www.ips.gov.uk/passport/fees.asp> and <>http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/passports-a... for more info.

Sorry but, if the chance arises, you're going to have to turn it down, I'm afraid...:o(

Answer 5

If you are in the UK it looks like you're not going on that holiday:

We strongly recommend that you do not book any travel before your new passport arrives.

Reminder: From 1 June 2007, first-time adult passport customers will no longer be able to use the fast track one-week service as they may need to have an interview as part of the passport application process.

If you are applying for your first adult passport and you have an existing child passport, you do not have to wait until your child passport has nearly expired to renew it, but we can add no more than 9 months unexpired validity from the old passport to the new one. You can renew your passport whenever you wish, but you must pay the full fee and no refund can be given for the unexpired validity in the old passport.

If you are applying for your first passport you should plan on allowing more time than in the past to receive your passport as you will need to attend an interview. We recommend you submit your applications six weeks before you need your passport to travel and do not book any travel arrangements until the new passport is received.

We recommend you use the Check & Send service offered by selected Post Office® branches.

I have had a passport delivered in 3 days....If you are traveling through an ASTA travel agent, they will know how....it is easy....it is expensive....we have averaged 350.00 if you are my customer to 500.00 if you are not, but if the paperwork is in order I ship on Monday and have the passport back Wednesday. Note.......you need an expert to get this done....yea ASTA travel agents
