Need to renew two passports and have decided to just get the forms from the post office - how do I actually pay for them (I don't have a cheque book). Thanks.
If you apply direct to the passport office you can pay by Debit Card or Credit card. If you want to pay using cash you can only do this by using the Post Office "check & send" service which costs you an extra £8.75.
Just a tip on your Passports Sherr, Photostat a copy of your details> ID No etc, in case you loose them abroad, I carry one copy, my wife carries one copy, it saves a lot of problems should you ever loose them.
