Hello. The passport office need people like you. I certainly would feel better knowing diligent workers were dealing with my application. For all I know you do work there. Nevertheless thank you for your clear and friendly video explanation.
Very informative as I am about to renew my British Passport and going to be doing it online. Your video made it simple to understand and the updates I will recieve.
Perfectly explained, thank you. For anyone else, this video shows the OFFICIAL method on the UK Gov website. There is literally no need to pay any other third party sites for anything, they are just a scam and rip-off at best.
I have found that you can hold onto a valid UK passport if you are out of the country and it is required as a means of lD until you have received your new passport. You are required to send a colour copy of every page which are numberd including the front and rear cover with an accompanying letter explaining the reasons why you need to retain your old passport for security reasons. This meant l was not without a valid UK passport while waiting for my replacement UK passport to arrive. Trust this additional information is found to be helpful in some cases of UK passport renewal.
You can also apply for a second passport if you want to. You can state a reason is that you can apply for visas and send away one passport and not be without a passport during that time, or for visiting multiple countries that may not be friendly towards each other.
Two points: 1. How do you get a code from a photo booth? What kind of code are they talking about? 2. How do you enter an address for a foreign country? Presumable the post code they ask for is for the UK?
Great video and very helpful. As I live outside the UK, the actual process will take a little longer, however I now have a better understanding of the process including the at home digital photo. Thank you, The Wooloffs.
Dear "Wooloffs" it would have been great to be given the UK government website address, or be able to see it in your demonstration. Many thanks for making the demo.
Hello, at 6:40 it asks for your old passport, whereas for me it asks for my old passport and an additional court order. Can anyone help me understand what a cour order is and how I can get one so I can send one-off? Also, may a birth certificate be an example of a court order? Thank you
I renewed my passport online from Canada and received my new passport today by DHL. It took exactly 4 weeks. The whole process was very easy and smooth with updates throughout until the passport reaches you. Thank you for sharing your video.
Can I change my signature, with the online application? My old signature is too easy to copy by other people. Thankyou for uploading this video. Its very helpful :)
Hi, great video. I would be grateful if you could help me. I wish to apply from abroad, but they are asking an additional formal document showing my name and and adress I provided when I fill the form online. How can I provide formal document shoe my address while I am registered in the UK...please asist me...
Do I need to send my other passport of my other citizenship when applying for a renewal of the U.K. passport after it expires in 10 years? I’ve heard rules have changed now
It took exactly 4 weeks for them to receive the documents if applied from the USA with usps priority express international. Please consider the pandemic and customs checkpoints by adding extra three weeks delayed processing.
On section where it says (( DO YOU LIVE IN THE UK )) !! how can we click on yes if we are not in the UK at that time. For example if we are out of the UK, Can we click on yes or we have to click on NO please??? THANKS
Hello. If you’re permanent address during your application is in the Uk, then you need to click yes. I think this is asked so that they would know if they will send the renewed passport within or outside the Uk.
@@TheWooloffs Wich option do we have to choose which says . Wich is your passport issuing authority. There are 2 option. First one. UKPA, UKPS, IPS, or HMPO second one says other. ?? U missed that option on your video 😂
@@TheWooloffs iam not in the UK tight now and iam struggling to renew my passport. I went to UKs embassy and UKs consulate in Iraq_kurdistan but they are so un usefulness did not help at all😡 now iam stucked here. It's so complicate to renew online aswell I tried it so many times...
May I ask why you chose the 'secure delivery' option for having your old passport returned to you? Does it come quicker or something... Also can I renew my child passport that has been expired for 9 years? I'm now 23 years old and I've never had an adult passport. Will it renew for an adult passport? Thanks
Hello. I checked in UK government website. This might be what you need. Please read carefully if this is the one applicable to you. www.gov.uk/overseas-passports
This is great - thank you. Was there any option to pay extra to expedite the shipping process? I have to travel within the next few weeks and my passport is expired (As I went through this process it told me it can take up to 11 weeks)
Hello. Our application took less than two weeks. However, I looked up for your question and here in the government website you can contact them if you need your passport urgently. www.gov.uk/get-a-passport-urgently
Because it would require the entire world to agree on a single digital standard and to fit equipment that can read/authorise entry from them. Some places can just about manage a stamp
Hi I'm in sri Lanka. I want to renew my passport tomorrow. It seems at question 2 or 3. Do you live in uk. Well I'm from buk burning currently living albeit on a tourists visa in Sri lanka. So if I click srilanka it then tells me to print and fill in a payment form correct?? And send with passport. Also I saw they then email confirmation number and another form for me to sign and send along. So it will be old passport, payment authorisation form(( although I assume they process payment immediately?) Plus the form with my signature to print sign and send. Hope you understand?. It looks like they have calculated the extra courier fee and added it onto the passport cost. About 19£ from srilanka. Thanks
Hello. You should report your lost passport then request for replacement. The government website has information for this here. www.gov.uk/report-a-lost-or-stolen-passport
Very instructing video, thank you! I don't know whether you can also help me with the following: my mother has a British passport but we live in Greece (her passport says British citizen) and she wants to renew it as it expires in November. The request is basically for an adult passport renewal (the standard one, not for British national overseas). The process is exactly the same or we need to make some extra steps or include some extra documentation? To my understanding since we want a standard adult passport renewal, the process is exactly the as you describe in the video- we will send her old passport back to the UK and they can mail the new one here in Greece (possibly with some extra fee). Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello. I read about this. It seems similar process as applying from the uk but with a few additional documents. You can have a look in this link below. I believe they will also let you know of which documents to send when you do the online application if you chose living outside the uk on one of the questions. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/564959/OS_Guidance_G3_10.16.pdf
Nice video, but its still not clear if i can if I can renew my passport from India online..I've downloaded and filled out the form.. and then noticed on the guidance notes i can do it online which is cheaper and quicker,,can I apply online from India.?
I want to renew my brit passport and i live in canada, it has been expired for almost 2 years. Do i still need a referal and a counter signature? If yes can it be someone that knows me here in canada since i dont know enybody professinol in uk? Please clarify .🙂
Hi I wasn't born in England my dad was but I have a British passport because of him which has been expired for about 14 years and it's Burgundy colour... Can I still renew it? Please help, it's something crucial. Thanks
Make an application for adult renewal. If you've lost your old passport,. Make an application for adult replacement and get lost stolen reference number and give it to the passport office. If you also have a foreign passport or travel document then you will have to send it as well with your application(original if applying from the UK and coloured photo copies if overseas) this is for name alignment.
Hello! When applying for a UK passport RENEWAL, do applicants having another citizenship (other than British) need to send their “native” passport too, along with the old British one? I hope not, as I would be frustrating to go through the same hassle as it was done for the first UK passport.
If you are a dual national and are making an application from within the UK then yes, you will have to send your most recent foreign passport. If foreign passport has a different name then you must change name on foreign passport before you make an application otherwise your foreign passport will be sent back to you and application will be put on hold and eventually withdrawn.
@@500BHPalright, thanks. I’ve just check on the gov website (www.gov.uk/renew-adult-passport/renew) and it says the coloured photocopy of your foreign passport is accepted as supporting document to send along with your original old UK passport. That’s a good thing. I’ll deal with that when I have to, though. I still have several years left on my current UK passport.
hi just want to ask if you need your birth certificate to renew your passport?cause my brother in law he is trying to renew his passport now they asking for it thanks
