Email requesting additional documents for name change- 14/10/21. I rang them to explain that it wasn't a name change that I only did not write the other names as written on the birth certificate.They took my details and said someone will call back. I got a call back the on 18 Oct and explained the same thing and told them that the passport should be issued with the same name as it's on the one that expired. I was advised to include a letter next time.

Supportting docs have been delayed, had to call HMPO a couple of times. While they have been polite, they can’t really say where are your supporting papers.
Thank you to moderators, administrators and forum members for this site and providing this invaluable help and support. My immigration route from student visa to British passport is over. Good luck everyone!

Called HMPO twice trying to figure out why I have to do this again. They said someone would call me back but never did. The countersigner I used was eligible as she also countersigned for my daughter's passport, so I am not sure what went wrong. Eventually I just asked for someone else to countersign.
