Just curious, do they really still insist on a full colour photocopy of EVERY page?
And just fyi, I emailed today to renew one of my adult ones (I have 2, will explain how and why later), and they said come on Monday at 10a.m
Last time for me was 3 years ago, this one again is already full but doesn't expire for many years yet, I know they give it back on Monday but I don't remember giving them 50 pages of photocopies, seems excessive and expensive.
Anyway also for me I do not need a counter signatory - little know fact if you renewing one that is not expired and your basic facial features are unchanged, you don't need to faff about finding some other responsible bule to sign a photo and pretend he has known you for 20 years
It is still 128 quid for the jumbo 48 one, last time they couriered it directly to my residence, this time it says I will have to collect it from VFS, again will see what happens.
I am hoping for a new blue one but even at least the old burgundy colour will not mention EU on it anyway
Then I will renew my 2nd one (also filling up but still 6 years to go before expiry) in 3 or 4 months and hope that one is blue
Anyway, I emailed today for the appointment, they emailed me back to come on Monday at 10 so they are not busy
Will update this after Monday and when I get my new one and where they sent it, just to latest pre Brexit progress
