I need to make an appointment for the Premium passport application service but begrudge paying to use the 0906 number charges to make an appointment in addition to the £128 fee. Is there a geographical number available please?

What is the 0906 number in question ?

0906 500 0924

The telephone number you have quoted 09065000924 is for a third party website - http://www.passports-office.co.uk/contact.asp.

This is in no way connected to the Official Government Passport Service, and won't enable you to make an appointment with the genuine service - Let along the 'Newport' office.

Contact details for the Passport Service is available on the official website:

https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-passport-office

Telephone: 0300 222 0000

Hope this helps,

Wow, Thanks for that Daniel. I thought I'd never get caught, but you have be so careful. Many thanks again

Which is what I suspected hence me asking for the 09 number. :)

I thought the government said they were going to clamp down on these money-grabbing sites with URLs designed to appear official but which are fake.
