I used USPS Flat Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelope which, like UPS and FedEx, tracks the whole way and requires a receiving signature.

Re: Renewing UK passport from USA as naturalised US citizen
Thank you everyone for your advice and contributions. I ended up renewing as an overseas candidate. It took 2 days to get to the UK via FEDEX and within 2 days the passportapplication.service.gov.uk went from accepted to dispatched and I received both old/new passports 2 days later. 1 week turnaround !!

Re: Renewing UK passport from USA as naturalised US citizen
Since many of you have recently had successful passport renewals I was wondering where you got your pictures taken? Did you use a grey background or a white one? Did you send US size pictures or UK size?
All of the posts I have seen on the matter are a couple of years old now so I would like updated information. Thanks!

Some people report that some Walgreens can do UK spec pictures, as apparently can AAA. I just got US spec pictures and cropped them by hand to the UK's required dimensions. My passport took eight days to come back (sent and received in the UK).

Picture taken at home on plain cream background, printed at costco using epassportphoto.com. Cost all of 20c. Can produce UK or US sized photo. This was last year.
