Hello Guys;

Originally from Turkey. I have applied my first British Passport in 03/02/16.

It has been received IPS on 04/02/16.

I haven't done my interview yet.

As you all know we had to sent all passports inc cancelled ones.

One of my family member having serious medical problem.

I need to go back to Turkey Asap

I know B P might delay which is understandable.

But

does anybody know can I request back my Turkish passport ?

Should be possible:

:arrow: Make sure you tick (check) the option to not cancel your application :!:

Members have reported documents returned in around 10days - 2 weeks.

State on the return request form that it is an emergency and you need to travel. I got my passport back in 4 working days.
