Nowadays, renewal of British passports can take place irrespective of the place individuals are living in. No matter if the individual is living in Australia, New Zealand or any other place in the world, the British passport renewal is not a problem.
Renewal of British passport is the responsibility of the department of the Identity and Passport Services (IPS). There is a standard procedure that the individual has to follow in order to get the passport renewed.
However, in order to get the passport renewed, the passport holder will have to pay a little cost. The cost that will have to be borne will depend on whether the passport holder needs a standard service, an urgent service or a premium service.
The renewal procedure is as follows:
Initially, the passport holder will have to get and fill an application form. One way to get the form is to get it online from the IPS website.
The form can be filled and submitted online, after which the IPS will send the hardcopy of the completed form to be signed and returned with the supporting documents. Apart from this, a hardcopy of the form can also be received from the post office branch that offers a check and send amenity.
Furthermore, the individual can also ask the IPS to send a hardcopy of the form. Once the request has been sent, form will be sent within five working days.
The individual applying for passport renewal needs to sign the form cautiously ensuring that the sign matches with the one that is present on the current or the last passport. If in case, the signs differ, the individual needs to have a British or an Irish person above the age of eighteen, who knows the person for at least two years and is willing to countersign the application form.
Provide all the required supporting documents along with the application form.
Once the new passport has been received, the old passport will be cancelled out by the IPS.
