Passport renewal

It's easy you don't need anyone to do it for you .. honestly I did mine and my wife's recently and it's so easy...

is not a literal criminal scam, but a private third-party agency that charges extra fees to handle UK passport applications. They are not affiliated with the British government, and you can apply directly through the official GOV.UK Passport Service without paying their heavy service markup.

It is so simple, I did mine last year in December, from start to finish took about 10 working days.

This is a great help, thank you.

I was reluctant to pay the extra fees, and started to ask the question when I saw they were working out if South Africa.

Thanks again SimCityAT.

So, the last time I renewed my passport was just under  ten years ago, in the UK, is there any extra online forms, extra fees or any pitfalls now I am a resident in Cyprus,? And do i have to arrange my own delivery to Cyprus, Thanks.

There are no extra application forms; you complete the standard digital overseas renewal form on GOV.UK.

Fees: The standard adult online fee is £102 (plus courier fees).Outbound Shipping: You must arrange and pay for sending your old physical passport to the UK yourself. Many Cyprus residents use DHL or Cyprus Post (noting that local post may require an online customs declaration form first).
