Does anyone know how strict they are with these passport interviews? H2B went for his yesterday, and they totally flummaxed him by asking about how he sent his application form off, which he didnt do as i did it all, they asked him how he sent it, he replied with i just put it in a post box, but i used the post office check and send service and they asked how he paid, he said cheque, but i paid cash :-( Do you think he has totally blown our chances of our honeymoon now which is already booked and paid for :-(

I had to go for an interview last year when I got my first passport, they are fairly strict but to be honest I dont think you should be worried hun, they ask all these silly questions but I guess your h2b would have said they do ask more serious questions which are credit related so as long as he knows what credit if any he has had or bills he pays over last year or so and he looks like his photograph then dont worry honest. They are a pain but they have to be careful these days, its just another formality to go over, im sure everything will be ok. : )

what did they say to him when he left the interviewer? I had to go for an interview for my passport as I am going to Portugal for my Auntie's 60th. I too felt very confused and didnt know what to answer as to how i sent my passport application off as I didn't do it, my mum did. However at the end of the interview, the interviewer asked me where I was going with my passport and then said enjoy your holiday. They told me i would hear something in 4 to 5 working days. I went for my interview on a saturday and by tuesday my passport was here. To be honest i think he will be ok as he will have known all the other details that they ask. I got the address of my dentist wrong and they'd countersigned my photograph and i still got mine.
its more to protect us against identity theft really.
Couldnt he tell them that you sent it for him as he had work and he thought that is what you had done. Sorry never been for a passport interview
Cant wait to to marry Martyn
Wishes the wedding would come faster

Yeah, he was able to tell them the last credit he got and his last 3 addresses, they just said to him at the end of the interview that if he was succesful he will have his passport in the next 7 - 10 days.
nickers - you have to have an interview if you are applying for your first passport!!

Lol i must admit i panicked like no bodys business when i found out i needed an interview but it is exactly what Lozzle said, to protect us from identity fraud, I remember my passport came through quick too Lozzle i went for the interview on the friday and the passport came on the monday, the date the passport was issued was the day I went for the interview,so not too much of an inconvenience. Its just the initial build up and the wait. : )

I think the interviews are a waste of time and money. If someone is going to try and fool them I think they will be able to pass an interview with them as they are alrady prepared into what to say.
