DS-156 Question 2 Help!

[Phil_NUFC 0]

Hi Guys,

Not sure where my UK passport was issued? Can't see anywhere on it any city. On the ID page, at the top it says "Type/Type" P. Now I have heard that this P could be Peterborough. Is this correct? Now this "country" would obviously be England, but what about the "State Province"?

Anyone suggest what I put for this?

Cheers,

Phil

Phil, on my husband's passport the second line up from the bottom says: Date of Issue. To the right of that it says 'Authority' His says British Embassy Athens there; I presume yours would say where the pp was issued.

State/Province would be Hampshire etc

While filling DS-156, there are two options. Online filling will come with barcode and other is just plain DS-156 Form. Which one is better. Is there anything has to do with barcode while filling online?

Hi Phil - If you have a passport issued from within the UK, I think the 'authority' says UKPA (UK Passport Authority.) The P at the top isn't for Peterborough as I have one and I got mine in London! Did you send off for your passport from Newport (is it Newport? I am sure Swansea is Driving Licences?) if so I'd put UKPA in Newport, Gwent (NB not followed by 'England' ). If you got it from London I'd put 'UKPA, London, England.' Often on US forms my place of birth for example is listed as Hampshire, England rather than Southampton, Hampshire so I don't think they'll be too worried about the State/Province so long as the info you put is correct.

Hi Candace,

Yes the authority does indeed say "UKPA". But how can I find out where it was issued? I did it ages ago through the post office, so I will try and go there tomorrow and ask about it there. Seems stupid to ask where it was issued, what that has to do with anything i don't know! No-where on the passport does it say where it was issued apart from "UKPA", it probably says it on an american passport so they think it will on a UK one. Maybe they should look at one first before making these stupid forms. Sorry.... just a little bit miffed about all the information I need to get for this visa.... then again it will all be worth it to be with my fiancee!!
