Passport Application Form
My mother cannot make the journey to London to renew her Italian passport. Are postal applications accepted and if so where can I find the form. I've been phoning various numbers, London, Liverpool but only getting voicemail.

Appointment in London
To book an appointment in London you can only book 9 weeks ahead of time and the booking opens at 11pm GMT 9 weeks prior to appointment availability, i.e. you need to get online at 11pm every day except Tuesday (no appointment Weds), by 11.20pm all appointments are booked.

Once you have been once they are usually quite good and if you have to return they will give you a piece of paper that allows you to arrive without an appointment.
In my experience the agents are a waste of time, the one in Bristol is totally disorganised, forgets to send applications, forgets to call or email when she says she will and has done everything she can to make it impossible to do anything without having to go to London because we did not donate enough money but she refused to tell us how much to donate...i.e. she was begging without actually wanting to ask for it!!and has now made life hell.

Good luck

Applying for an Italian passport
I am trying to get an appt with the consulate in London for an Italian passport. This is proving impossible. Is it possible to do this in Ashford. The passport will be issued through right of birth as my father was born in Italy. Many thanks. I am finding the process very frustrating.
