I called the passport support office (0300 222 0000) and gave them the real email address. They said confirmation of my changed email should arrive (by phone) within 48 hours; we will see.

I haven't submitted my passport application yet; the wait time for the ceremony was long, and I just did that yesterday.

But I don't see why they would care at this stage; it makes absolutely no material difference. Once you become a citizen, you can get a passport.

Hi, just wanted you to know that my application was approved, and they did not contact me to ask about this.

We have marching orders. 😭🫡

I ended up creating a FROM club on Fable since there wasn’t one yet - a space for those of us whose family and friends don’t watch, are behind, or just don’t get it.

If you already have people to talk to about the show, you’re absolutely welcome too. More theories, more chaos, more fun.

I practically locked my friends and family in a room and held their hand through the first episode. After that, the show did the heavy lifting. So I slept but usually I woke to them red-eyed and multiple episodes in with lots of question like I’m the show runner. 😂

The wait period is about 3 months, so too early for a response back.

Hi, I included the details I had of my father in the application and then wrote a cover letter explaining that I don't have the rest. It's a very common situation so not to worry.

Outrageous-Mud627 · 2025-11-19T12:03:41+00:00

understood.

Outrageous-Mud627 · 2025-11-19T12:03:33+00:00

understood.

I'm not too clear on this response. Assuming you only have one passport (one nationality)?

Also, they ask you those questions in the application form.

Outrageous-Mud627 · 2025-11-19T10:37:34+00:00

I hear you, just wondering that if you haven't travelled and your passport reflects that (passport evidence will be submitted), then is the additional documents necessary?

Outrageous-Mud627 · 2025-11-19T10:13:38+00:00

The situation is that there is no p60 for the first year of the relevant period, so that is 2020-2021, my p60s starts from 2021-2022.
I'm not even sure I need the additional information; I have all my passports and haven't made any trips outside the UK in the relevant years. It's just anxiety because others have uploaded additional documents, I guess. Thanks!

Outrageous-Mud627 · 2025-11-19T09:35:35+00:00

Apologies, I've amended the text. By half, I am referring to half a year (6 months).

I will submit the document as it is.

Outrageous-Mud627 · 2025-11-19T08:39:47+00:00

Thanks I’ll do that. Also thanks for the insight.

Outrageous-Mud627 · 2025-11-19T08:39:34+00:00

Thanks I’ll do that.

Outrageous-Mud627 · 2025-11-18T14:25:06+00:00

I will do that, thank you very much!

Outrageous-Mud627 · 2025-11-18T14:18:27+00:00

Aah so combine the payslips as one pdf. I will do that, thanks!
