UK passport question (trans) 

I'm currently trying to get my passport sorted out since it is due for renewal (my current deadname passport expires in June)

I'm just wondering, can I go through the regular renewal process but enter a new name? or do I need to apply for a new passport.

I've also noticed a "premium" passport renewal service, which costs double the amount of money but promises for the passport to be renewed sooner, is that worth the money? (I do not have this money currently.)

I have a new photo ready, a deed poll showing the name change, and a bank statement.

anyone else had this issue with the online application form? The photo was taken from one of those high-street photo booths and uploaded directly to the form online. The machine said there was nothing wrong. I've contacted the company to request a refund but in the meantime is there anything I can do to make sure I have a correct photo? It's not like the photo booths are going to do any better a job since it'll just have the same result every time.

@Violet mine failed the automatic checks despite being exactly what they asked for. I remember there being an option to appeal it, which caused what would be one of many delays, but they did eventually accept it
