A passport is one of the most important items for travelling. If you live in the UK and do not have a passport, then you will need to apply for one. If you have a passport that is out of date, then you will need to renew it. To apply for or renew a passport, you can contact the Identity and Passport Service. They will issue passports to British nationals in the UK.
Those who are aged 16 and over and have never had a passport can choose to apply for an adult passport. Passports for adults last up to ten years, and passports for those under 16 last for up to five years. If you are applying for your first adult passport, then you may need to attend an interview.
Those who wish to apply for a passport can either apply online via the Identity and Passport Service website or request an application form to be sent in the post. There are certain documents that need to be provided along with the application form, such as a birth certificate for those that were born or adopted within the UK.
If you are applying for your first adult passport, then you will need to allow up to six weeks for it to arrive. There was previously a fast track service for those applying for the first time, but this service was cancelled when the interviews were introduced. However, the fast track service is still available to those who simply need to renew their passport.
The Identity and Passport Service usually require two good quality photos that are identical. To ensure that your passport photos are suitable, it is better to use a photo booth that provides passport sized photos rather than taking your own photos with a digital camera and printing them off at home.
