I still have an unanswered question, sadly.
The lady at the post office said because my mums name is different to the one on her birth certificate ill need to provide the DPol paper proving this but the website doesn't go over this...
Does it matter if her last name has changed or must I get the Dpol paper?
You do not need them.
Her name now is irrelevant. Your entitlement comes from her at your birth. What happens subsequent is irrelevant.
Also, to repeat my self for clarity: You have NOT had a previous passport. You were simply included on your mothers, this is very different from a Childs Passport.
Because you have not had your own passport before, your application is the same as anyone else who has never had a passport.
Your mothers birth certificate, if you have that, is enough.
Other documents could be acceptable instead. I went for the simplest version, and documents which you should be able to obtain for a modest fee if you don't have them.
Again, if requesting copies, make sure they are the FULL version of birth certificates, NOT the short versions.
