    Also read something about sending original LONG birth certificates. If you don't have a Long one you can order it from UK gov site.

    Photocopy of passport is fine.

    Congratulations on the twins @pin

    Congrats on the TWINS. wow that must be cool and painful as the same time lol. two babies to look after at the same time. 1 was hard enough in the 1st few months but it does get better and better.

    Stay strong dude, as the locals say ADD OIL. buy lots of red bull for the loss of sleep

    How long did it take from sending the forms off?

    I just checked, I sent my forms off on 6 Feb.

    I did get an email from Passport Office asking for my original UK Registration Certificate and our original marriage certificate (I had previously sent colour photocopies of both these documents).

    I should however point out I am still not sure if the will get UK passports (although at present the application hasn't been rejected).

    Wow, that is a quick turnaround. Was this first passport?

    I applied for my daughter's UK passport shortly after her birth. Took around 2 weeks to receive the passport with the supporting documents being returned separately a few days later.
