I put HMPO for my DTV approved Dec. HMPO is the authority responsible for issuing UK passports.

OPAnonymous participant I get that but lots of people having denied applications from different countries for this question so I want someone who has done the visa and been approved recently to answer.

Anonymous participant no, I don't have a DTV but it is the Issuing Authority

Good question. I put HMPO on the form internally at an Immigration Office just 2 weeks ago. However, with the DTV best to double check as some rejections in neighbouring countries due to this field.

OPThanks for your reply, yes I am doing it through the official Thai website online not in person.

Anonymous participant Double check as I said. All UK passports are HMPO now are they not? It's been over 20 years since I renewed while in UK.

100% ot was cost cutting. It also moves the budget from FCO elsewhere. I also heard VFA were not the cheapest last time at contract renewal but as incumbents they got it. They do not seem to have a fan club anywhere though.Andi ***********
@Greg *******
Tokyo Embassy where I used to get my passport from said about fraud control but you right about cost cutting too.Greg ********
@Andi **********
To cut costs you mean :-) Same as outsourcing to VFS.Andi ***********
@Greg *******
Yes, that stopped to have tighter centralized control over fraud.,Greg ********
@Andi **********
I remember when Embassies could issue their own. I got one in Brussels and one in Singapore. It said FCO. Previously to that I think it said the office ie Glasgow, Durham etcAndi ***********
@Greg *******
Yes, they are all HMPO as that is the only place responsible for issuing UK passports.Activity
