Probably the best TH-cam information video I have watched. I am a new subscriber and will look for any relevant videos in the future. Thank again for you professional presentation.
Thank you for the excellent guide about renewing UK passport. Your video is easy to understand and explained simply. Its the best explanation video that I have come across on TH-cam!
I’ve just subscribed. I need you in my life! What a great help for those like me who haven’t a clue on a LOT of things we are now expected to do without advice on how to do this. 👊🏼
Thanks for this video did my passport online first time awesome and easy took me ages thought out the box, if you want you can use your driving license for digital photos work a treat.
Hi i followed the steps in your video and today my new passport arrived i applied online Monday evening and arrived today was shocked how quick it came thank you so much for the video it was clear and easy to follow hopefully the old passport should arrive about a week later @TheFormFiller
Very useful video thank you. I wonder how long have people waited for a new passport? Ten weeks seems a very long time to wait. Thank you for explaining the process so clearly.
My Old Passport which I have Expired 2012. I haven't travelled since, but I have the undamaged old passport to send. Due to it expiring in 2012 will I need ANY additional documentation as you didn't mention this in your video. Thanks will await your advice.
@@Ghostlove92Kat Yes the website said "up to 10 weeks" when I did it. But I did make a point of following all the steps in the video right down to the labels on the envelopes. May have just go lucky, but my neighbour also got two new passports in just two weeks.
@@JamesRobinson-k5g omg ok yay im going to stay positive then. my boyfriend is a brit but lives in mexico, and I'm in the US and he cant come see me until he gets his passport and so he was devastated when he saw 10 weeks, so we are trying to stay hopeful/positive that it will take less. He said he did it all online and just dropped off his old passport in the mail via DHL today. I am worried though because he's overseas, not physically in the UK. But going to try and stay positive. thank you for the info!
Hello. Thanks for your question. I didn't put any envelopes with the application. I paid an additional £5 for the special delivery return of the new passport. And the old passport gets returned sperately via 2nd class post at no additional cost.
@@TheFormFiller yes very helpful thanks. I need mine renewed before mid July so I'll have to book an appointment and get ripped off fast tracking it. Thanks again
thankyou for your informative video.i am in the process of renewing from australia only trickey bit seems to beelectronic photo as a 70plus yr old i dont have digital camera although the post office here will do photos not sure if they meet uk criteria.d0 you know?
Great, very informative video! Just wondering, when your new passport is delivered, do you have to be in to sign for it, or is it just posted through the letterbox?
Well I had a shock and I’ve lost £93.50 for a passport renewal. The reason: I was honest saying I already had an irish passport so the uk passport office said my application had two Christian names as second names whilst my Irish had no second names. As they don’t match they asked me to change my name by deed poll or get the Irish passport changed by adding two second names. There was no mention of this in the application paperwork or that the fee would not be reimbursed. Rip off Britain again….. I’ll use my Irish passport from now on. No uk passport for me.
On 'Choose your photo', I get a pop-up saying.... unable to upload media due to denied permissions. Any idea what permission settings I need to turn off? Using Andriod btw
Hi there, sometimes on my Android I get a permission request stating 'so and so' wants access to your camera, so that could be it. Although I simply took a photo on my phone and emailed it to myself and did the upload via PC. Maybe that may work better? Good luck!
@@TheFormFiller thanks for your reply. Due to the pop-up I was receiving on my phone, I tried again with my tablet and was able to upload straight from it. Would that be judged to be a digital photo even if there wasn't a requested code?
Amazing video! But I have a question, I am renewing a passport for my mother-in-law, when they ask me to sign the passport, how do I do it if I live abroad? I saw from a short test that you need to sign with a pen, but usually passports come with a nylon layer on top of the page
Hi, I am still a bit confused; how can you write on the the of the photo and then glue it on the referee form? It just doesn't make sense... Can you please explain? Thank you.
Hi Cristi, for paper applications and printed photos: Posting your photos When sending your application, your photos must be: separated from each other left loose and not attached to your application form Source: www.gov.uk/photos-for-passports/photo-requirements
Straight forward and very precise. Also I renewed my passport, from overseas years ago from Canada; so is still possible to have my new passport mailed out to me in Canada, by paying the additional fee?
I renewed my old passport on the 29th june. Done check and send had pic done at the post office . My pic was rejected so went back had another pic taken at the same post office thats been rejected can some tell me why because im doing everthing right
Hi Carol. Sorry to hear about your experience. I think it's best to contact the passport helpline for guidance: www.gov.uk/passport-advice-line best of luck 👍
Thank you, but I have one question. If you are applying from outside the UK, where is the option to enter a foreign address? Obviously, entering a foreign post code is not going to work. Is the option on the "find address" button? I should like to know this before starting the application process and end up getting stuck half-way through.
But having misplaced or lost your passport this video i unless and t will be hard getting a signature ie my Doctor no longer signs passport forms, no signature no passport. Im screwed
Hi Thanks. I live in Ireland; I don't need a passport to live here, due to the common travel area. But when they ask for my address is it ok for me to give a UK address that I often visit so they can post the passport there instead of direct to me in Ireland? They charge an extra £19 to send to Ireland. [I can travel by boat and on some airlines with driving license as photo ID.]
Hello there, thank you for informative video, it has helped a lot. Can I fill out my daughter's renewal passport application online (she's adult) and then send it on to her for her to sign electronically or does she have to fill out the form herself?
Does the passport number change when you renew it? I live outside Britain , need to book our flight this month of May for November flight but I haven’t renewed my passport and it will expire November this year, can I send it end of this month to have it renewed even though it will expire in NOVEMBER? Does the passport number change so I can book our flight before this month end? Thanks
Hi. Thanks for your questions. Sure, you can send the passport for renewal anytime within its final year of validity. And yes the number does indeed change. Best of luck with your application 👍

How long does it roughly take to fill in the online form? I have my existing passport and I’ve taken a picture.

sir it's really helpful ,thanks alot making the video.
Wonder if u have idea that the track n signs services from post office , the signature I got was the delivery office, not the HMPO….
I'm sure the delivery office receives it and then it works it's way to the the HMPO office.
Thank you so much for your effort
Great video, it helps me a lot .Thanks for your effort.
Glad it helped you Ron. Thanks for watching! 👍
If I’d have to do all that . I might as well apply in the post office
A photo taken on an iPad might be about 24KB which is not enough and the photo will be unsuitable. So take it on a smart phone instead.
Thanks for the tip Brian! 👍
Thank you,I have a question, do we have to put an envelope in with the old passport with our address on and PEX number?

do you not need to add the application reference to the envelope?
Yes you should add the reference into the address. It is provided to you by way of email so can be printed off and stuck on.
@@TheFormFiller cheers man completely missed that
Help, I forgot to add the application reference in the envelope with my old passport and have already sent it!! will it still be ok??
Well I had a shock and I’ve lost £93.50 for a passport renewal.

Hi do I need to send my old passport if it has expired.
Hello. During the renewal application. It will list what documents are requested for you to submit to complete the application.
will i need to print out the address and pex at home and take it to the post office?
You can handwrite it if you prefer. But yes, you will need to take it to the post office and send via Special Delivery. 👍

Does the passport need next of kin on it?
Do you know how to do it for child when we need to confirm identity countersigned?
