Determine Eligibility To Renew Your UK Passport In The U.S.
It is important to determine eligibility when to renewing a U.K. passport. It is possible renew it — as opposed to applying for a new one — if the previous passport is undamaged.
Passport Photo Required For UK Passport Renewal
Get two passport photos taken. It is necessary to have two identical color copies of the photo. Although the UK passport photo rules state that the photos must be 45 millimeters high by 35 millimeters wide, and have a plain light gray or cream-colored background, the standard 2′ x 2′ US Passport photos will work as well. It is important to be facing forward and looking right into the camera with a neutral expression. Nothing can cover or obscure the face. If wearing a head covering for a religious reason, the face must be fully visible. Photos must be printed on photo-quality paper, and cannot be torn, stained or folded.
Items You Will Need for Passport Renewal
- Passport renewal application
- Previous UK passport
- Two identical passport-style photos
- Credit Card Authorization form
- Ambassador Passport Authorization form
- Ambassador Passport Cover Letter (basically the order form)
U.K. Passport Renewal Tips
People who previously were listed on their parent or guardian’s passport — as opposed to having their own — need to apply for a new passport rather than a renewal. People who are replacing an old, blue-style UK passport need to apply for a new passport.
Passport applications are handled in the order that they’re received.
