Posting Passport & Visa documents registered to UK

kim_possible

I am going to leave a visa application into the Indian Embassy in Dublin (for a friend). The website says the documents can be returned by post if a registered self addressed envelope is provided with the application.

What is the best type of registered pre paid and addressed envelope to provide for Dublin to LONDON post?

Thanks

When you're dropping them in, explain they need to be posted to London and pay them the extra postage.

Thanks, do you think this will work?

are you sure you know whats going on?

you are dropping a passport to Dublin to be forwarded to London - which presumably will be done by the embassy using their internal post system (i.e. box of stuff sent via courier or diplomat to London)
is it that
a ) you need to give a prepay envelope for sending from London to Ireland (so a royal mail product)
b ) the documents will work their way back to Dublin on the internal diplomatic post and you need a prepay envelope to save you a spin to the Indian embassy in Dublin to collect everything (so from an post)

I think you have read my post wrongly.
I am leaving an Irish passport and visa application to the Indian embassy in Dublin to be processed in DUBLIN.
(for my friend who lives in London but has an Irish passport)

When the process is complete instead of me collecting it and posting it to her in London personally. It says on the website they will post completed application out if an registered SAE is provided.

aha, get you now.

sure isnt registered post just registered?
If you want to go with dhl or another courrier service then you are not using the normal post offices and could be causing hassle for the embassy, but if you just stick to plain an post international registered packet post you should be grand as no doubt they would have a collection/ delivery from an post every day.

Heres the rates for international registered post.

When you go to the post-office, ask for an international (or to-UK at least) registered envelope for documents. They'll give you a little plastic envelope/pouch with all the registered barcodes and tags on it. You just fill in your friend's London address on it, keep one of the barcode stickers for yourself for tracking purposes, and put the envelope in with the application that you're sending off.
There's only one type of registered envelope that an post can give you, I'm pretty sure.
