    I did the other day. If it's the same one it's just a quick entry to get your form filled in and mailed out to you. It's on the IPS .gov site so I assumed it was legit but you've got me worried now!

    Well, the woman in the post office said there was an online system, so I brought this one up. Just doesn't look all that official, that's all.

    It is good and legit. I recently used it and it took only about 2 weeks which I thought was excellent service - saves a lot of time. Plus they return your old passport so you can see how much you have aged in 10 years!!!

    Glad I asked ... I think that one is a scam to get someone to charge u for filling the form in.

    I don't know - be interesting to know which one tikey used - but personally I'd be nervous of any which wasn't on a government site.

    There enough Polish people there, so it feel like a different country anyway!
