Why Renewing Your Passport on Time is Important

Your UK passport is not only an essential travel document but also a form of identification.

To avoid these issues, it is advisable to renew your passport well in advance.

Step 1: Check Your Passport’s Expiry Date

Before starting the renewal process, ensure your passport is due for renewal. The UK government recommends renewing your passport at least nine months before it expires to avoid travel disruptions.

  • A full-face view with a neutral expression

When using the services of MyBritishPassport, you will receive instructions on how to take a digital photo. A digital photo is required and can be easily taken at home using a smartphone, digital camera, or tablet. We ensure that your photo complies with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards.

If your photo does not meet these requirements, it may lead to delays in your application or issues when travelling.
