My wife needs to renew her UK passport. She lives in France so planned
to do it on her next visit to London. However, the passport office
won't give her an appointment unless she provides the postcode of where
she is staying. But she' not staying, she plans do do it in a day. She
suggested that she provide her mother's postcode, but the passport
office require that her mother (or a hotel manager, for that matter)
provide a signed letter to say she is staying there on the day of the
passport issue.
Surely they will know she is in the UK on the day of the passport issue
since she will be standing in front of hem during the interview.
Anybody else come across this, or know a way around it?

She travels to London every week or so, but almost never to Paris.
The website says you can renew at the passport office in London if you
live outside the UK

If she's a French resident she should renew it in France.
These days in the UK it's normal to renew by post rather than go to the
passport office.
Why doesn't she just do that.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Why can't her mother do that then, who's to know?
