Hi all, just had my NCS appointment today. It occurred to me the pile of documents going into the envelope seemed too thin to have every page of my old passport photocopies in it.

Is NCS supposed to photocopy every page of the old passport? Also, did they let you to check what goes into the envelope after returning the originals to you?

Thanks.

I think all pages of passport has to be photocopied, however they may only copy the pages with stamps and leave the blank ones.

Now that you have raised the point, for us (2 adults, 1 child) with 2 expired passport and 3 current passport, I did imagine that the pile of docs seemed thin, because it will be atleast 15 pages for each passport, and the pile for our docs didnt seem to be that high as to if we were to copy all pages of passport.

Good observation. They probably know better.

Thanks for replying. So I imagine they didn't let you check final content of the envelope either?

They only copy relevant pages.
