Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions about Passport Services

What documents do I need to renew my UK passport?
To renew your UK passport you send us a completed and countersigned Passport Application form (picked up from a participating Post Office), two identical passport-size photos taken within the last six months with at least one countersigned, a Letter of Authorization carrying an original signature, and your most recent undamaged passport to be renewed. VisaHQ checks everything before submitting it to HM Passport Office.
How fast can I renew my UK passport with VisaHQ?
Once your documents reach us we submit your renewal directly to HM Passport Office on our 7-day service and track it in real time. Please note that the Passport Office may request additional documentation at any time, which can affect the final processing time.
What is the difference between a 36-page and a 50-page passport?
Both books are valid for the same period; a 50-page book simply gives frequent travellers more room for stamps and visas. The government passport fee differs by book size; VisaHQ's service fee is the same for either size. Exact figures are shown before you order.
How much does it cost to renew my UK passport?
There are two separate charges. VisaHQ's service fee covers reviewing your application, submitting it to HM Passport Office on our 7-day service, and real-time tracking. The government passport fee is charged separately by HM Passport Office and is not included in the VisaHQ fee.
