The Unite union says workers at Heathrow Airport are on 'poverty wages'.
But Unite says the offer does not make up for years of pay freezes and cuts.
She said Unite members are "simply unable to make ends meet due to the low wages" and they are striking "due to need not greed". According to travel expert Simon Calder, at peak times - which includes April - the Passport Office can receive 250,000 applications per week. It means that more than one million applications could be sent during the strike period.
The Home Office said it was disappointed with PCS's decision to walk out, adding that the strike does not affect its guidance which is still to allow up to 10 weeks to get a passport, with preparations under way to meet demand.
