Dear Mr Mariam

 

Earlier in the year you submitted a request for information to the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office about the process for applying for a passport
overseas.  We sent you the reply copied and pasted here below.   I have
now seen your e-mail of 26 June and it seems that the earlier reply may
not have reached you:

 

Interviewing passport applicants has been established practice in many
British Embassies and High Commissions worldwide for a number of years and
has proven to be an effective deterrent against passport fraud and
identity theft.  This has become necessary to establish an applicant’s
eligibility and entitlement to a British passport; prevent other people
impersonating genuine British nationals and using that identity to commit
fraud; to reduce passport fraud and forgery.  The answers to the questions
about family establish whether the applicant knows the information that
the genuine holder of the identity claimed could reasonably be expected to
know. 

 

Please could you confirm receipt of this e-mail.

 

Regards

Sheila O’Connor
