I'm applying for a new British passport (after leaving my other one in a taxi).

One of the bits I have to fill in is "issued at". But there was nothing on my passport that said "issued at XXXX", so what do I put?

Should I put "London", "United Kingdom", "UKPA", "UK PA London" "UK Passport Authority" or something else?

You normally enter the town where your passport application was processed. So if your last application was sent to London, you simply state London. If at a British consulate abroad, the name of the town where the consulate is located.

There are seven passport offices in UK, one in London and six around the country. So as mentioned above, you need put where it was issued before.

I just put UK since I have no idea where mine was issued. I'm not in the habit of keeping the envelope that the passport arrived in to see where it was dispatched from. They farm the processing out to where ever the work load is least. I once sent one to Peterborough but it was processed in Belfast. The problems that caused me with people wanting to know what I had been doing in Belfast.

I'd put UKPA or FCO (if it was abroad) and let them work it out.

After the splitting of the Home Office, UKPA is passe! It is now Identity and Passport Service :)

#3 - surely it was dispatched from the office to which you sent the application form - memory going?
