I have recently applied for 2 child passport under SGO (Social guardianship). However I was sent a message saying they couldn't accept my form. I was gutted that's £92 down the drain. I am beyond stressed out about this along with wedding planning. They gave me a form to redo it all over again.
I have completed every inch of the form that is applicable.However I did not fill in part 4 because the mother is deceased and that's been stated on the cover letter. I know that I can legally apply for a passport in regards to the children as I have an SGO and I've already applied for another child under SGO which was successful. However, I sent a copy, I think this was my big downfall, luckily I have a copy saved on my computer that I've scanned years back but the original SGO order is lost, and I have turned the house upside down looking for it, to no avail?
My questions are:
- Do I need to fill in part 4..shall I do it just incase and send mothers passport although she is deceased?
- Do I contact Social services for another copy.But shouldn't it be from the court as it's the one who granted it?
- Does that mean I have to pay fee again. I assume so.
- How would I go on in contacting the relevant court in regards to obtaining another copy?
Everything was filled out correctly but my downfall was I assume sections 4 and the photocopied SGO. Why was section 10 mentioned, or is that just a courtesy reminder, my friend who is a qualified nurse countersigned for me. I find Social services to be inadequate and I know for sure I'll be given contacts that leads to nowhere.
I just hope that my daughters passport has at least been approved as I have sent them all in one envelope.
I have attached the letter from HM passport offices.
Thank you all so much in advance.
