This application was submitted to the Passport Service in April 2021. It is incomplete despite several requests from the Passport Service to the parents for additional information and documents in an effort to finalise the application under the Passports Act 2008, as amended.

In light of the above and given that the validity of the submitted application has expired at this stage, it has been cancelled. A refund of the paid passport fee will be arranged. The applicant’s parents have been advised of this and of the need to re-apply.
