I propose to take Questions Nos. 63, 64, 65 and 70 together.

With regard to the specific applications about which the Deputies have enquired, the Passport Service has contacted the applicants' guardians directly and given an update on the status of the passport application.

With regard to the specific application about which the Deputy has enquired, the Passport Service has completed an extensive search of its records and there is no record of an application in the name of this applicant received in December 2020 or January 2021. 

All passport applications received during this period have been dealt with by the Passport Service.

If the applicant can provide proof of postage through Passport Express, including a tracking number, the Passport Service would be happy to follow up further on this case.
