Your UK passport often needs to be valid for at least 6 months after the return date of your overseas trip (depending on where you are traveling to).
If you do not comply with the above, you may run the risk of being denied boarding on your departure date or may be denied entry into a foreign country upon arrival.
If the expiration date is uncomfortably close to the cut-off date, make sure that you renew it well ahead of time.
The above information is very important and something airlines rarely mention.
Use our handy passport validity calculator to find out whether your passport is valid for your next trip.
Your UK passport can be renewed at any time, whether it’s expired or has just run out of pages. To do so, start the application form here. If there is time left on your British passport, it will not be added to your new British passport.
Please note that an expired British passport needs to be renewed before one can travel. One cannot travel on an expired passport.

Please note that applications that haven’t been checked beforehand are often delayed or rejected due to incorrect photos, supporting documents and incorrectly completed forms.

A counter signatory is the person who verifies the identity of the applicant for all:
first-time applications or passports expired a very long time ago;
the replacement of a lost, stolen or damaged passport;
renewal of a passport for a child aged 11 or under;
or the renewal of a passport if your appearance has changed and you are unrecognisable from your existing passport.
If you are applying from outside of the UK, your countersignatory does not need to be British but must have either a current British, Irish or other EU, US or Commonwealth passport. Your application will, however, be processed faster if they own either a British or Irish passport.
There are very specific and strict rules for who can be a counter signatory. These rules change from time to time. Due to this, your dedicated MyBritishPassport consultant will advise you at the time of your application about exactly who qualifies as a counter signatory (depending on the specifics of your application) and what they will need to do in order to confirm your identity.
Yes, if one or both parents were born inside the UK and the child was born outside the UK then your children can apply for British passports.
In some instances, the child’s birth will need to be registered with the British authorities before applying for a British passport depending on the birth dates of your children.
It all depends on the given circumstances, as well as the dates and places of your parents’ birth. If one or both of your parents were born inside of the UK and the child was born outside of the UK, then the children can apply for British passports.

Applicants from some countries will need to supply proof of residence. If you are one of those applicants, your MyBritishPassport consultant will guide you through the steps and tell you what to do. They will then check your proof of residence thoroughly to ensure there are no discrepancies between that and your application.
An old/expired British passport must be sent to the passport office in the UK to be cancelled before a new passport will be issued. Read more about sending in your old passport here.
The following applies if you have another passport from another country (non-British passport): A photocopy of the entire passport, all the pages, must be sent to the passport office in the UK.
“His Majesty’s Passport Office operates a one-name policy for all official purposes. Where a passport, travel or ID document issued by another country is in a different name than the name used on a British passport, a passport will not be issued until the names are aligned. According to British Government laws, this is for public protection and prevents the potential fraudulent and criminal use of passports in two identities. Therefore, if names on a non-British passport differ from a birth certificate and/or a British passport, then the applicant needs to renew or amend any non-British passport in the name as per the birth certificate before a British passport can be issued.”
