[quote]Miss Carter has had to provide letters from her doctor proving her eyesight problems in order to have her application accepted.

[QUOTE=Noss;47238939] [B]So there wasn't a section in the form to write about disabilities[/B][/QUOTE] Well, that's dumb, you can't just bitch about something so trivial when you don't let them provide an explanation... people need to take this kind of thing in to account.

I thought Daily Mail was bad, but OP managed to turn it into a clickbait article... She ended up getting a doctor's note and the passport was approved. End of story.

[QUOTE=ENG.jonny;47239149]I couldn't agree more![/QUOTE] that wasn't supposed to be a compliment

england is super anal about passport photos i've heard of photos being rejected based on size of photo being off a millimeter, head size being off by a millimeter, even the background color not being the right shade. source: taking passport photos

That is a hilarious story though, in a fucked up way. I'm glad it was excused though

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;47239788]that wasn't supposed to be a compliment[/QUOTE] It was meant to be me agreeing with you.
