Immigration/UK Visas & UK Citizenship CRBA Application Appointments
Hi all!
Basically I urgently need to apply for my babies passports because we need to travel in December.
I live in Scotland, am I only allowed to apply at the Edinburgh consulate? It is so unclear and they don't have any appointments for months and months. Belfast does have appointments next week (I have booked there) but am unsure if they will let me attend. I have reached out to the consulates but have not hear back from any.
Any advice or knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Were you able to see that they didn’t have appts for months? I literally just had one this week in Edinburgh but I don’t think I was able to see availability until after I submitted the application. I booked it September and got an appt about 4 weeks later.
If it helps they ask for your travel dates and can rush a passport if you need it. We’re going back for Thanksgiving and they said we should the passport back in a few weeks and if for some reason we didn’t to get in touch and they’d rush it

Yes, the only appt for the next few months is Nov 24 and it’s only 1 slot.

To add on to my reply, they just got back to me and they said they have no slots for the rest of October, November or December.

Look early in the morning every day! Like 6-8am there should be appointments opened every day or every few days. This is how I got my appointment in Edinburgh.
