Applying for a UK passport
An important instruction is also given for people applying on behalf of another person.
If a person is applying on behalf of an adult or a child, the questions are to be answered with the details of that adult or child, rather than the details of the person completing the application.
Applicants are asked whether they live in the United Kingdom, with options for yes, no, living in the United Kingdom while applying on behalf of someone currently in another country, and living in the United Kingdom but currently in another country.
Help Available for Online Passport Applications
The guidance also noted that help is available for an online application at a Post Office, where staff can take a digital photo and help fill in the application online.
This service costs extra, with more information available about the digital Check and Send service, and payment can be made by cash, or debit or credit card.
