Renewing a U.K passport while living in Florida
My young daughter needs to renew her passport.(Has 8 weeks on it) I believe I can do it online, and it takes 4 weeks and I need to send the original back to the U.K.
My main concern is that it has her visa in it, and we are currently going through the process of applying for our visa conditions to be removed to be allowed to stay permanently. Also she needs her photo signed, however it states that it has to be done by someone in the U.K, whilst we live in Florida.
Anyone gone through this process before ??

This is absolutely not true. My daughter had a notary public with a US passport sign her British passport photos. See https://www.gov.uk/countersigning-passport-applications
My vet has signed mine for years! The
OP’s pediatrician might be a good option.
