When to Send birth certificate - child passport application

Hello.
Hoping someone out there can tell me! We're applying for a child's first passport, friends are doing the digital photo confirmation.
We just can't find an address to send the birth certificate to!
Where did you have to send it to? And how did you know it was the right place?!
Don't want the birth certificate travelling round the country randomly!
Thank you for your help

When I applied for passport renewal digitally, the confirmation email told me where to send my old passport. 10 days later when they wanted my birth certificate they send another email. Same for DS1 both documents sent to different addresses, but with a unique reference number to put on envelope. Hope that helps

They will tell you as depends which passport office it ends up at.

Brilliant, thank you! Guess we just need to be patient!

Don't send anything until they request it and you know where to send it. Otherwise, it will end of floating around some office and you may not get it back. Just be patient, I was tempted to send them everything just in case but was warned not to by a friend and glad I did as it was actually a stress free!

As soon as the ID has been done, they will message you with more instructions. Just hang on for now.
