Urgent passport application for child

12 replies

Hi if you've done this recently - what documents do you need to bring?
After my application there wasn't a conclusive list. Photo was uploaded from my phone. Do I still need to bring printed versions? Do I need to bring birth certificates etc. Thanks

Took a week for a renewal

Thanks @user1494050295 did you need to bring any documents?

No I don’t think so. It was a straight online renewal. I had to send in the passport and the other passport (dual national). And a copy of the birth certificate. Everything returned within a week

If its a renewal its likely you only need the old passport. Have you sorted out a countersignature too? Did you submit the application online?

twilightsparkleee · 10/08/2024 14:44

@dementedpixie yes it is a renewal due to loss of the other one. The loss has been registered and code received.

If its a lost passport I'd be tempted to take the birth certificate too

twilightsparkleee · 10/08/2024 14:52

@dementedpixie yes I'll take that one with me... thank you

I'd take absolutely everything I had to the appointment if you aren't sure what you need.

twilightsparkleee · 10/08/2024 22:29

For urgent appointments do you need to bring the child too?

Isn't all of this information given to you when you make the appointment? Surely they don't just want you to guess.

To my surprise there was information of what you need to bring only if you've changed gender etc.

I think since everything is digital these days and this is renewal (albeit lost passport) they already have all this info. But I'll bring whatever I have anyway. Just not sure if need to drag little one along in the heat
