Standard Passport Application & Renewal

The cheapest although slowest way to apply for or renew a British passport is via the Standard Service (takes up to 8 weeks). You can apply for this service from the UK or from overseas. If starting the process via our website then you will benefit from our third party services and support (details >) for a most admin charge and pay your passport fee due to HM Passport Office.

If you have have held a British passport in the past then you can use the Fast Track or Premium Services if you require it sooner then 8 weeks.


If you do not require our third party services and support then you can apply for or renew your passport directly with HM Passport Office via gov.uk
