Step-by-step guide to UK Passport Renewal Online

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. 

UK Passport Renewal Online

Dealings with government offices may not always be high up on many peoples “fun things to do” list, but as we move further on into the 21st century, technology has allowed us to do more without needing to be physically present for our personal and legal affairs to be properly handled. 

If you are that person who is less than ecstatic about the digital transition, we would like you to know that the steps to your UK Passport Renewal Online are not only simple but also quick.

The process includes: completing an online form that requires various details. These online forms are secure and you can process your application without any concern for the safety of your information. 

Make sure that you have your passport document on hand, this makes for a quicker application.

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.

Do I need to send my old passport back to the UK?

You will have to send your current (old) passport to Her Majesty’s Passport Office before your renewed passport can be issued and sent to you. When using MyBritishPassport for your Online Passport renewal process, the courier of your passport is included in the fee we mentioned earlier.

Your passport will be collected from you by courier at home, and your new issue will be delivered to you once it arrives in approximately three to four weeks.

If my passport has already expired, is the UK passport renewal online process different? 

If your passport has expired, you can apply for your renewal in the same way. 

A Passport is still valid for up to 10 years from its expiry date, although it is best to renew it before it is expired. 

MyBritishPassport will help you take care of your British Passport Renewal and ensure that your application is accepted and your renewed passport is issued.

We are in contact with the British Passport Office on a daily basis and are well equipped in skill and knowledge regarding all aspects of British Passport Renewals online.
