Ms Fiona Penollar:

With regard to child passport online renewal, obviously child protection is extremely important to us. We must ensure that the guardians of a child have given their permission for the child to have the passport. The significant difference for child passport online applications is that we will still require signatures. There will be a required page to be sent in that will purely be the consent of guardians for the child to have the passport. This is a fundamental principle for the protection of the child and is a significant difference.
