Passport farce: Part III
RE: The letter Passport farce: Part II (Letters , March, see here), I experienced the same when renewing my passport two years ago.
I tracked the passport as having been delivered, which it had not, so went to the distribution point and the woman said it had been delivered but could not show me a signature.
The next day I found one passport in the postbox about 500 metres from the house, not signed for, and the second one was left on a garden seat.
This year I have renewed my husband’s passport. This time the passport arrived and the delivery man rang the bell for a signature.
The second passport arrived four days later but at least it got into the postbox this time.
Our postman never asks us to sign for items °ù±ð³¦´Ç³¾³¾²¹²Ô»åé and we never receive back an avis de réception.
Complaints to the local office mean that our postman just stops delivering to us at all!
