With regard to the passport application about which the Deputy has enquired, the application is incomplete and a passport cannot be issued in this case. The application has now expired and has been cancelled. A refund of the passport fee will be made in due course. 

The Passport Service has informed the parents of the applicant that the application has been cancelled and has outlined the full requirements for a new application should they choose to reapply for a passport for their child.
