There is NOTHING wrong with the guidance given in this thread.
Your post could suggest what has been said here is not correct.
What has been posted here is taken directly from the passport office guidance, which is authoritative.
With regard to the Post Office:
- They are indeed not authoritative.
- I would certainly not expect their counter staff to be good at this in anything but the most simple of cases. Their 'check and send' service is probably at its best for making sure people have put all the required info in the correct boxes, and their photos are compliant with requirements (but the requirements are very clear).
Personally, if you don't need the check and send service, I would not use it.
