I suggest the Passport Office advertise that. During the quiet months, when people are not travelling anywhere, that might be one way of dealing with it. In other words, the Passport Office would not get a huge spike at this time of year. It has started to slow down a little in the past couple of weeks, or at least I hope so. If it was advertised early in the year, or even over the winter months, that people could apply and get renewals, the situation could be dealt with that way.
