Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas

Not quite sure what you mean, but if I remember rightly, you have 12 weeks to send your passport and docs. I received an email after 1month reminding me to send them. My delay was caused by a...

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas

No, a passport is not enough. A letter from the school should be enough. It is when applying from Italy. As is a letter of employment for you.

No, in past, all this documentation wasn't...

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas

Or a one year extension if it's possible. Unlike an ETD, it's free.

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas

You need to read through the instructions - thoroughly. Off the top of my head, from what I remember you can't use a PO box. Overseas passport renewals need to provide proof of residence/address. ...

No, docs are sent separately. Though they can arrive together, but in 2 envelopes.

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas

No, somewhere in the instructions it said not to staple the forms and only fold once. I used a paper clip for the form and put the photos in an small envelope.

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas

Same for my son, but for a replacement PP. My passport stayed 'being processed until the day before it was delivered when it appeared as 'dispatched'.

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas

Buried in the instructions somewhere, it does say that if the signee does not hold a UK passport, a copy must be enclosed.

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas

Jamjax. Did you need a UK address? Are they mailing your PP to you expat address? Last time I used this service I had to provide evidence of a UK address. Thanks.

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas

You've already printed out the declaration page so you can't add additional info. You have to write out the additional info, stating the changed circumstances and sign.

'Relationship' is only...

You have 90 days for them to receive the docs. I received a standard email after 4 weeks telling me that if I didn't I would not receive a refund. My delay was caused by the need for a signee. ...

Exactly! Estimated time of at least means c**p all. ('scuse my French :rofl: ) It would be simpler AND more correct to advise 'allow 10wks' etc. It's a webpage. Update/alter the flippin' thing.:D

Re: Experience of renewing UK passport from overseas
