    Okay probably surprises me a little, rather thsn confuses me... But there isn't a thread for that sort of thing... But submitted a first Passport application for my Son yesterday, and the amount of Docs they need. 
    For some reason they only require the Birth Certificate for one parent, but the Birth and Marriage Certificates for all Grandparents?

    Sounds odd. Are you sure you have that right? The guidance online says (for a postal application admittedly) you need:

    • the child’s full birth or adoption certificate (the one with parent’s details on it)
    • proof that your child has British nationality (for example a British registration certificate, parent’s passport details or parent’s birth certificates)
    • any valid passports from a different country belonging to the child
    • any court orders relating to the child (for example, that describe parental responsibility or residency arrangements)

    So not as you seem to describe?

    As an aside I was impressed that I renewed my passport and it was all actioned within 8 days ie new one back to me (and that was sending my old passport in via 2nd class post). No complaints at all.

    Saving up again for a future visit. I suspect for a number post Christmas it was a choice on which to spend money on.
