Courier & Security

Secure Courier Coordination You Can Trust

At U.K.ABROAD, every passport application includes fully coordinated courier handling – safely, efficiently, and without surprise costs.
We partner with trusted international courier providers to ensure your documents and passport are handled with the highest security standards from start to finish.

Courier Safety Assure Protocols

Your safety and peace of mind are our top priority. Our Courier Safety Assure protocols ensure:

  • Secure, trackable collection and delivery of all documents
  • Verified handling and direct contact with the courier management team
  • Continuous monitoring and follow-up on every shipment
  • Controlled access – only authorised staff handle sensitive applications

From the moment your envelope leaves your hands to when your passport is delivered, you’ll know exactly where it is and when to expect it.

How It Works

We make all courier arrangements on your behalf – you don’t need to book or coordinate anything.

  • We schedule the courier to collect directly from your home or work address, or provide a drop-off option at your nearest location.
  • We handle shipment tracking and communication with the courier, ensuring no delays or confusion.
  • You’ll receive updates from your dedicated passport consultant until delivery is confirmed.

Included Shipping: No Hidden Costs

When you apply through our website, the courier costs to and from the UK are already included in your total fee.
There are no additional charges for collection or delivery.

Expert Handling = Fewer Delays and Extra Savings

Our consultants know exactly which documents are required before anything is shipped – eliminating unnecessary or repeat deliveries.

For example:
If your application includes a name change due to marriage, our team will request an Unabridged or Full Marriage Certificate showing marital status.
This critical detail is not clearly stated on the HM Passport Office website – but missing it would require you to send an additional shipment later, increasing both time and cost.

With U.K.ABROAD, we prevent those costly mistakes upfront.
