Topic: UK passport renewal online
The British government has embraced the ever-evolving digital world and is now accepting British passport renewals online. The steps to a UK Passport renewal online are simple.
There are, of course, some who prefer to handle their affairs in person and where they can ask questions and discuss any challenges with an official in front of them, but a large portion of the population of the world are not mad at the idea of never having to commute to a government office again. Most people are very pleased that UK passport renewals are now done online.

Why use an agency instead of just applying by myself?
We often have clients contact us after having attempted their UK passport renewal online independently. Although we commend the attempts, we do not recommend that you try and handle it all on your own.
Why? Well, these clients who attempted their British Passport renewal online without any assistance or guidance have not had any refunds on the original payment made for the application.
Her Majesty’s Passport Office does not, under any circumstance, refund UK passport renewal application fees.
At MyBritishPassport, we eliminate the risk of having your online application declined by properly and diligently scrutinizing every detail of your application because we know that the British Passport Office will do exactly that.
