Desperate holidaymakers have queued outside Newport 's passport office after reporting long delays for their travel documents.
A number of people queued outside the HM passport office at Mission Court in the city on Wednesday, June 1, after they faced long waits for their passport applications to be processed, with some reporting waiting longer than the ten-week waiting time and difficulties getting information before their holiday.
The Home Office, which administers passports, has advised people not to turn up to its offices without appointments. Travellers can apply for fast-track passports that require an appointment at a passport office to complete. Many holidaymakers have been complaining about months-long delays and miscommunication leaving them with no passport hours before they are due to travel. Queues have been reported outside passport offices around the UK this week including in Liverpool, where people were seen with camping chairs as they waited.
