UK Passport renewal
Andrews Travel House can provide services to help renew your UK passport; offering a same day service for most applications.
For all applications an original application form is required that can be obtained from post offices or we can deliver one for you. The forms must be filled in with block capitals with a black pen, please do not cross out or sign outside of the box as this will cause the application to be rejected.
If your current passport is at all damaged especially around the photograph or if you have changed notably since it was issued you will need to have the application countersigned by a professional that you have known for at least 3 years; i.e. doctor, solicitor, company director etc. (They may also request more identification and take longer to issue the passport). If this is your first passport then you will also require a countersignature and the application will take a week.
Making an appointment
All applications are seen on an appointment basis and the wait varies depending on how busy the Passport Office is, they recommend that you do not make any travel arrangements until you have received your new passport. To make an appointment at the passport office we will require the following documents:
- Existing current uncancelled passports.
- Our ATH application form.
- Original application form.
- ATH application form.
- Letter authorizing us to lodge and collect the documents.
- 2 passport sized photographs (if countersignature is required one of the photos must have written on it "I certify this to be a true likeness of <applicants name> and also be dated and signed, the other picture must not be written on.
We charge £120+VAT (£144.00 inc VAT) for this service plus the Passport agency's fee; £129.50 for a premium (same day) service.
When we have all the documents in order we will make an appointment as soon as we can and then keep you updated on the progress. If you have any questions please contact us.
If you require us to lodge an application that is not a straight forward renewel i.e. a second additonal passport please contact us for more detailed information.
