Get a passport urgently
1 week Fast Track service
It costs:
- £155 for an adult passport (or £166 for a 50 page frequent traveller passport)
- £126 for a child passport (or £137 for a 50 page frequent traveller passport)
You can use the 1 week Fast Track to:
- renew an adult or child passport that has expired or that is about to expire
- change personal details on your passport (for example your name, place of birth or gender)
- replace a lost, stolen or damaged passport
- apply for a first child passport
If you’ve already applied for a passport and have not received it yet, do not use the 1 week Fast Track service - you will not get your passport sooner. You might be able to upgrade your existing application instead.
