A report by the Daily Record has revealed that huge queues of desperate Scots have gathered outside of the Passport Office in Glasgow. Many are looking to get a hold of their held-up passports before their holidays, which for some are fast-approaching.
The Home Office is understood to have put up to 4,000 applications from several months ago to the back of the queue to prioritise new applications first. Some Scots at the Passport Office who have not received their travel documents even claim to have fast-tracked their applications months ago.
While this is out of the hands of most Scots, some may be wondering about the current passport application process so that they can get their applications in for their next holiday. Here are your questions answered regarding the current passport rules and application process.
