Who can apply through Global British Passports?

We assist British citizens and eligible applicants living outside the UK — including adults, children, and those applying for the first time or replacing a lost or expired passport.

How do I apply for a British passport through you?

Start by filling out our secure online application form. We’ll guide you from there and let you know what documents and photo are required.

What documents do I need to submit?

It depends on your application type. We’ll give you a personalised checklist, but common documents include your previous passport, birth certificate, proof of address, and photo ID.

Do I need to send original documents?

Yes. Some documents must be submitted in original form to HMPO (such as expired passports, certificates, or naturalisation papers). We’ll explain exactly what is needed.

Can I apply for my child through your service?

Absolutely. We help with child passport applications and ensure all supporting documents and parental details are correct.

Can I take my passport photo at home?

Yes — and we’ll help you get it right. We provide clear instructions and check your photo to make sure it meets UK passport standards.

What if my photo doesn’t meet the standards?

We’ll let you know right away and help you resubmit a correct version. All photo checks are included in our service.

What’s included in your price?

Our fixed pricing includes the HMPO government fee, courier delivery, full document checking, passport photo compliance check, and personalised support.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. The price we list includes everything required for a successful application. If your situation requires extra services, we’ll let you know upfront.

We accept secure online payment by credit or debit card.

How long does it take to get a UK passport abroad?

Renewals typically take around 4–7 weeks, and first-time applications take 8–12 weeks or more depending on verification and document processing.

Where will my new passport come from?

Your new passport is printed and issued by HM Passport Office in the UK and couriered directly to your international address.

Will I receive tracking information?

Yes. You’ll be sent tracking details once HMPO dispatches your new passport.

Can I apply for a passport through my local embassy/consulate?

No — all British passports are now issued exclusively by His Majesty’s Passport Office (HMPO) in the UK.

Where do you currently help people apply from?

We currently help British citizens applying from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, United States, Canada, and Asia-Pacific.

Can I speak to someone?

Yes. You’ll deal directly with a consultant via email or a scheduled call — not a call centre or chatbot.
