Passport Renewal Support UK

Help renewing your UK passport

If your UK passport is close to expiring, has already expired, or simply needs replacing, this route helps you renew it correctly and on time. We guide UK residents through the renewal process step by step so the application reaches HM Passport Office (opens in new tab) complete and consistent. HM Passport Office makes the decision; we make sure your part is right.

Who this is for

Renewal typically suits adults whose existing passport is expiring soon, has expired, or is too damaged or full to use. It is also the route many people use shortly before booking foreign travel. If you have never held a UK passport before, or your circumstances have changed in a way that affects eligibility, talk to us first so we can point you to the correct process rather than the wrong one.

What we help with

Checking that renewal is the right route for your situation
Reviewing your digital photo against the published requirements before you submit
Completing and checking the online application for accuracy and consistency
Assembling your supporting documents and confirming what must be sent
Guiding you through identity checks and any countersignatory step, where needed
Booking and preparing you for any in-person appointment

What to prepare

Have your current or most recent passport to hand, along with your personal details and a recent photo that meets the official rules. If your name, address, or other details have changed since your last passport, gather the supporting evidence for those changes. We will confirm exactly what applies to you before you submit, so you are not guessing.

A note on times and fees

We never quote fixed processing times, and we do not promise a date — these are set by HM Passport Office and change. The current online adult renewal fee is £102 (£115.50 by post, from 8 April 2026). Check GOV.UK (opens in new tab) for the latest fees. Always check the latest guidance on GOV.UK and leave a sensible margin before any travel. Our role is to reduce avoidable errors and delays on the part you control.

To start your renewal with our support, get in touch and we will tell you what to prepare.

Frequently asked questions

Can you renew my passport for me?

We support you through the renewal process — preparing your evidence, checking your photo and form, and guiding the booking. The application is submitted to HM Passport Office, which makes the decision on your passport.

How long does a UK passport renewal take?

Processing times vary and are set by HM Passport Office, so we never quote a fixed figure. Always check the current guidance on GOV.UK before booking travel, and allow a comfortable buffer.

Do I need to send my old passport?

Renewals normally require your most recent passport to be submitted as part of the application. We help you understand exactly what HM Passport Office is asking for in your case so nothing is missed.

My passport has expired — can I still renew it?

An expired adult passport can usually still be renewed rather than treated as a brand-new first application. We help confirm the correct route for your circumstances before you start.

What does a passport renewal cost?

HM Passport Office sets its own application fees, and these change over time, so please check the current fee on GOV.UK. Our charge is a separate service fee for the support we provide.
