Hello sorry to post this, I'm sure its been covered seveal times, however I need to renew Robs passport and I know it has changed since I renewed mine a couple of years ago. Also I can not fine the search facility.

Any advice re the process and cost gratefully accepted.
How long will it take?

Cheers Gill

Details are all on the Wellington British High Commission website, sorry dont have a link - but google will find it.

I did a load of kids ones not long ago, you get the form from the website and then complete everything and take it down to the local post shop - they do a cursory check that you have everything and then post it off to high commission - from memory it didn't take long (2 weeks?)ish.

Renewing mine was as per P18PPS post.

May as well stick up the links for anyone else also looking in.

When you go for your photos make sure they know it is for a UK passport. The UK passport photos are a different size to the NZ passport photos.

We also found UK much stricter over photos, the ones we used for our daughters kiwi passport were rejected for the UK passport (bit crazy when you consider she was 3 months old and doesn't look anything like that now anyway)
