Petition update, 29 April 2008

More details from petition creator

From 31 March 2008, UK passport services in Belgium and France will be joined to create a single issuing centre, in Paris, not in Brussels.

It is claimed by the Embassy that this can be processed in 10 working days of receipt at the British Consulate-General Paris. How reliable is the Belgian Post? This year some Xmas cards posted in UK before Xmas have been held in Brussels X postal centre for 6-7 weeks.

UK passport applicants in Belgium will need to apply for a renewal or new passport from the British Consulate General in Paris by post or in person.

All other consular services (mainly those not used by UK citizens) will continue to be provided by the British Embassy in Brussels who will also continue to issue Emergency Passports (an emergency travel document for single use to return to the UK).

And no - it is not true that the staff savings will be used to send extra UK teachers to the European School system.

For a full text, see the Statement from the British Embassy in Brussels 22 February 2008. Sign up here or complain to the Embassy directly OR BOTH
