There are particular requirements involved with a UK passport renewal. When making your application it is vital to understand the process and to gain the correct passport information, to avoid delay in processing your passport application.

The criteria for UK passport renewal if you still have your old passport:
· It was a UK adult ten-year passport or a UK five-year child's passport which was issued before you were of the age of 16
· The passport is undamaged
· Your name or national status does not need to be changed

Your passport cannot be renewed if you were previously included as a child on someone else's passport.

If you are renewing your passport for the first time and you are planning to travel, it is advised that you apply at least six weeks beforehand, as an interview is part of the passport renewal process.

However if you are renewing an expired passport and you are travelling soon and need to renew your passport within a two week period, after gathering the right passport advice, you will need to use the IPS Fast Track one week service or the Premium one day service at extra costs.


When applying for a UK passport abroad, the application has to be processed abroad by the passport processing centre. If you do not reside in the UK, passport renewals can be applied for whilst visiting the UK. There is an urgent application service if your stay in the UK is no more than three weeks. If you are visiting the UK for longer than three weeks, then you should follow the standard passport renewal process. Please Call us at number-coming-soon for passport
