    I don't know if it's been mentioned before but the Passport Office themselves have put it all online. Friend has just renewed her passport. Fill in the form on line, the site checks it, if correct you pay your money and print the form. SIgn the form and send with photographs (if required) to the passport office. Quite impressed with it. And it cam up first on the google search! Someone in charge must be taking notice.
    https://www.gov.uk/apply-renew-passport

    After writing the above came across another site britishpassportsuk . co . uk that is offering to renew passports with no message that it is not the Passport Office. ASA again?

      Yep its owned by an lone individual is the domain - http://www.nominet.org.uk/whois/lookup?query=britishpassportsuk.co.uk


      Also claims that nearly all fortune 100 companies trust their services - Obviously a lie is that!

      EDIT:

      So passport renewal fees have increased have they?

      Our Prices

      The final price is calculated including postage, VAT, service, passport fees at the end of the online order form where you are able to make payment via our secure online payment cart. After this you will have an automated invoice and order form emailed to you directly.

      Passport Fees

      32 Page Passport - £128.00 - Actual cost is 72.50 for nominal service / via post office its 82.50

      48 Page Passport - £137.00 - Actual cost is 85.50 for nominal service / via post office its 95.25


      Service Fees

      7 Day Service - £115.00 + VAT
      Next day service - £170.00 + VAT


      Service fees are on top of the passport fees!!!

      But wauit the contact email at the top right is for rapid_visa.co.uk - http://www.nominet.org.uk/whois/look...id-visas.co.uk

      Owned by a limited company, however on the websites contact us page the registered company number is given as
      6400012

      Different to the company registration number given on nominet for the domain registrant!

        Excellent. Let us know how long the passport actually takes.

        The thirdparty/copycat sites seem to rely on people searching on more long tail terms or mistypes and contain the relevant content in the result listing - whereas the gov sites don't.

        We're not ever going to beat the third party sites just have to continue getting the message out there to use gov.uk

        Regulation of govt services add on services is needed but bloody complex.

          From the appearance of the government site as first in the Google list it would seem that Google had tried hard to force it to the top. Not the normal format. Perhaps the pressure lately has forced this.

          Advertised as a 3 week turnaround for a straight replacement. We shall see.

                          He did the same in Pagibig's case last week - her judge really wasn't impressed either.
