I have had to have my passport photo's redone therefore I need help to get these to UK asap (my passport is already in UK).

Is there anyone going in the next day or so that could post my envelope for me please?

If so can you please text me on 0533 842 8713 and I will call you to arrange a meeting place.

Many thanks in anticipation!

Sue

I should have said that I can get these to UK on Wednesday but if someone is going earlier I would appreciate it.

The envelope has stamps on it so it is just a case of putting it through the first available post box - maybe at the airport?

Just to let everyone know, I have found someone who is going back to UK tomorrow.

Thank you very much to everyone who sent me a text this morning and to LAHotel above for trying to help, it is much appreciated.

Lets hope this time my passport photo's are acceptable, apparently my eyes were not level! Never heard of that one!!

Ha ha hope you had not had a glass of wine before the new ones were taken maybe this was the problem?? Seriously though most people's faces & bodies are not symetrical anyway.

Thank you Ozankoys

I needed a glass of wine after hearing that especially as I have already had my application turned down for another reason.

It was probably the best excuse I have ever heard of for not renewing a passport. To be honest I think they are just trying to reject as many applications as possible so that they can be seen to be cutting down their figures of outstanding passport approvals.

I have a 'wonky' back therefore I do not actually sit straight however because my eyes were not level my photo's were deemed to be unacceptable due to the airports using eye recognition. There is now a little gadget that they put over the photo to test whether yours is acceptable or not.

It took me over an hour to get the photo's right yesterday morning at the photographers - the photographer was not amused.

The changes to the way photos are acceptable to passports have been there now for a few years in UK. Nothing sinister about it. I had mine done 3 times also, in the end had to take my glasses off for the photo to be acceptable. If your in NC then the photographer has to understand the requirements. If in UK don't use the photo booths in the supermarkets.
