Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to ensure documentation for children's passport applications are linked to their parents' documents sent as part of the application.

Her Majesty’s Passport Office endeavours to associate documents to the relevant passport application as quickly as possible.

Where the same document is required to complete checks upon multiple applications, HM Passport Office is working to deliver further technical solutions to improve this process for both its customers and staff.
