Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assistance her Department provides to people seeking a fast track passport appointment but who are unable to book a slot.

Appointments for urgent services are released three weeks in advance. While this means new appointments are released on a daily basis at each of the seven public counters, in busy periods these will be booked quickly.

Her Majesty’s Passport Office therefore continues to explore options to increase appointment capacity to further support its customers with urgent travel needs.
