Apply online for a UK passport

You can apply for, renew, replace or update your passport and pay for it online.

You’ll need a debit or credit card to use this service.

It should take around 6 weeks to get your first UK adult passport, but it can take longer.

All other application types (for example, renewing a passport or getting a child passport) should take 3 weeks. It can take longer if more information is needed or your application hasn’t been filled out correctly.

You should use a different service if you need your passport urgently.

Don’t book travel until you have a valid passport - doing so is at your own risk.

You can pick up passport application forms from your local Post Office and apply by post, or use the Post Office Check and Send service.
