It takes the same amount of time. One is not quicker than the other.

You cannot download the form. You need to pick it up at a PO.

Simple. Google is your friend.

There is no speedier option. You'll also have to attend an interview before the passport is issued.

Note: you can’t use the Passport Check and Send service if you fill in the form online

You can't download the passport application form, you can only get it from the post office.

If you apply online, at the end you print out the declaration which you have to sign and post to HMPO along with your other documents.

A lot of people use check & send at the post office for the extra fee to make sure their application is correct, but to be honest as a naturalised citizen the application is very easy. I did it online and didn't mess it up.

thanks guys for your reply, I've heard that on online form there is no question about your parents but later they ask you to provide your parents details, is this correct ? could this delay the process ?

Thanks

You always need to provide parents details. Naturalised applicants do not need to provide grandparents details (the online form allows you to progress without completing that section).

The form I filled in and submitted via check & send yesterday doesn't even have a section for grandparents on it.
