A teenager fears she will be unable to travel on her first holiday abroad following a six-month battle to get a passport.
Lucy Stuart planned to travel with four friends to Porto in Portugal to celebrate the end of their A Level exams. The 18-year-old applied for her first adult passport on January 17 this year and is due to travel on July 3.
Following a series of issues with the Passport Office, which resulted in her having to apply twice, she has still not received a passport. She was told she must attend an interview but there are no slots available until after her travel date.
