Urgent assistance

If you’re in Ghana and you need urgent help (for example, you’ve been attacked, arrested or someone has died), call + 233 302 213 250. If you’re in the UK and worried about a British national in Ghana, call 020 7008 1500.

Get an emergency travel document

We are currently unable to issue an emergency travel document due to technical challenges at post. In the meantime, we will only be able to issue Emergency Passports to the United Kingdom.

If you’re abroad and your passport has been lost or stolen, damaged or expired, and you can’t get a new or replacement passport in time to travel.

Apply online for an emergency travel document

If the person needing the emergency travel document is under 16, a parent or guardian should apply on their behalf.

If you are due to travel in the next 24 hours, contact us as soon as possible.

If you are travelling in more than 3 weeks, check if you can get a new or replacement passport in time to travel.

If you are not a British citizen or have not had a British passport before

If you’re not sure, check if you’re a British citizen

If you’re not a British citizen but think you may be eligible, contact us to apply for an emergency travel document.

Once you have contacted us, you will be advised to make an appointment to apply for an emergency travel document at British High Commission Accra.
