Passport renewals online

www.gov.uk/overseas-passports

This online system includes payment, generates a personalised pack which must be printed, signed and sent with photographs and any additional documents required to the Passport Office in the UK.

Once submitted, people will receive instructions on how to track its progress via the website.

The process will take at least 4 weeks from the time the application is received by the Passport Office. This increases to 6 weeks when replacing a lost or stolen travel document.

You can apply 9 months in advance and any unexpired time will be added to the passport.

People unable to access the online system or are having difficulties can contact the Passport Office on +44 300 222 0000
