renewing childrens passport

[wiziliz]

hello everyone
are there any quick services to renew childrens passport? ( like one day service etc) when we send the passport for renewal do they give us back the old passport?? do they cancel it?? any information will be appreciated.
thank you.

Quickest service for a child is one week if you make an appt at a UK passport office (they will then send the new one to a UK address within a week. They won't send to a foreign address so you need to spend the week in the UK). I'm not sure but I think they hold on to the old passport whilst they process the new one even if you apply in person. Then send it back with corner cut off/clipped.

Definitely if you apply by post they will send the old passport back to you with the corner cut off.

www.gov.uk/get-a-passport-urgently/cost - looks like there in only the 1 week fast track for a child renewal. You get the old passport back with the corners cut off
