I have a general issue with a charge for a passport. Whilst I get that costs needs to be covered, the problem comes in its almost ubiquitous use as an identity and right to live/work in the UK document. The charge presents a barrier at the poorer end of society who cannot afford to get one but need something official for identity purposes. Depending on the organisation you're dealing with, life can be very difficult if you don't have a passport/driving license. It could be solved with a identity card but we're totally anti those in the UK for the most part despite the fact they could prove very useful for lots of things if properly implemented (which we all know they wouldn't be).Comment

Originally posted by ladymuck View PostI've just received my new passport. Turnaround was really quick. I filled in the form online on 30 November and received it today. That includes them waiting for me to send my old passport back.
I'd say it looks smart. The dark blue looks almost black.
I really like the identification page. It's far more robust than the old one as it's fully plastic rather than coated paper.Originally posted by darmstadt View PostLike my German - EU one then...Originally posted by Eirikur View PostLike my Dutch one already for 15 yearsOriginally posted by ladymuck View PostWell done, would you both like a cookie?
