Just go back for the 1 day service and apply for a second passport. Tell them your first is in for visas. You'll need a letter from your employer explaining you need to travel for a business purpose and need a second passport.
The 1 day service is only available for renewals and I cannot tell them that it is in for visas as the passport office currently are sitting with my first passport

Originally posted by Brussels Slumdog View PostI tried the one day service but they turned me away as they claimed my passport was damaged ( My details and photo not damaged) . I went to Canada on holiday last month without any problems.
I have used a passport service and paid £124 for a 5 day service and it was supposed to be available last week. The passport office claims that they need to contact the Paris Embassy who are not answering their e mails
I have a Belgian e residency card which is valid in Belgium and in the Schengen area
I dont think that I can travel on my Permanent resident card

Tried one day service
Originally posted by Sockpuppet View PostAre you in the UK? If so you can go to a passport office and get a passport same day. Costs £80 but worth it.
Also if you do a lot of travelling you can get two passports issued. I have two so I can travel on one and have another in a safe place in case I loose it.

Originally posted by Brussels Slumdog View PostTwo weeks ago on wednesday I applied for a British passport renewal, as the old one is dammaged and expires in December, using the 5 day fast service.

It seems that the passport office cannot find my original application form issued by the Belgian Embassy 10 years ago. I have a Belgian Residency card but not a Belgian ID Card It seems that I have the right to live in both countries but not travel between the two counties.
How can I solve this European problem?
