Have you checked your passport lately? If the time is close to having to renew your UK Passport, it’s important that you continue reading his article.
To Renew a UK Passport, you can no longer visit the UK Passport Office, or a local consulate or embassy abroad to submit your Passport renewal application.
Despite the fact that the UK Passport Office no longer accepts in-person passport renewal applications, it is still possible to submit a passport renewal application online quickly and efficiently.
For your application to be submitted successfully, however, you may need assistance with some aspects of the application process.
As part of its comprehensive service, U.K.ABROAD advises and guides United Kingdom passport renewal applicants living abroad and within the United Kingdom, ensuring a successful application the very first time.
Due to the regular contact our professional teams maintain with Her Majesty’s Passport Office, we are well versed in any changes or updates to the laws or requirements regarding passport applications.
Since passport applications are often rejected, this is especially important.

What supporting documents do I need for a British passport renewal?

There are of course certain instances that require unique documentation. Our team of expert British liaison consultants will be happy to advise you of what is required once your application is in process.
How long are passport renewals taking in the UK?
You can expect your new passport within four to six weeks. During the earlier months of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the delivery times were affected terribly.
The turnaround has made a quick recovery and we are back to the four to six-week bracket.
You may even receive your passport sooner than that, but it’s best to work on the 6-week mark and err on the side of caution.
Do I need a new photo to renew my passport online?
Even if you look exactly the same in every single aspect of your physical appearance after a decade, you must have a new passport photo taken. This photo must have been taken within one month before your application.
There are also some very strict guidelines to follow to ensure that your passport application is not rejected.
You will be advised on how to take the perfect UK passport photo by our team of expert consultants, once your application is submitted. For now, you can read up on the very strict British Passport photo requirements here.
