This guidance has been updated to: tell examiners the process they must follow if a child turns 12 during the application process, tell examiners they must phone the customer to see if a child who turns 12 can sign their passport, show that if the customer crosses an age threshold (child – adult) the application now remains in DAP (Digital Application Processing), confirm when an examiner must request a new referee if the customer turns 16, remove references to Application Management System (AMS).
